I thank Senator Wilson for his contribution and understand this issue is the source of extraordinary emotion in Cavan in his constituency. We all know the extent and influence of the Quinn Group in terms of its contribution to employment and wealth generation in the country. It is most extraordinary that the Financial Regulator has had to act in this way. Everyone in government is working extremely hard to ensure the jobs are maintained, as opposed to the Quinn Group, its owner or those on high salaries. The main priority of Government policy is to ensure the jobs are maintained. It may be the case that they will be maintained by someone other than the Quinn Group, there may be someone else who will purchase it.
