Frank Feighan (Fine Gael)

I will move on to the matter of jobs in rural areas. A year and a half ago, there was a fire in a meat processing factory in Roosky. At that time – just before the general election – promises were made that the factory would be replaced. Over 350 jobs were lost. The owners have now indicated that they do not intend to build a factory at that location. I call on the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to come to the House and arrange for the establishment of a task force to address this serious problem in County Roscommon. This is of vital importance.
