Michael Brennan (Progressive Democrats)

I refer to a matter raised by Senator Finucane and wish to support my west Limerick colleague regarding the payment of redundancy payments to the Castlemahon workers and the request of the Minister, Deputy Martin. I acknowledge that the Minister, the Minister of State, Deputy Killeen, and the Minister of State, Deputy Brendan Smith, met the workers. That was one of the items discussed some weeks ago. Now that we are facing Christmas, I ask for an early agreement and solution to that problem.
