Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

I acknowledge the issues raised by the Senator in regard to the potential losses of €600,000 and 18 jobs in that enterprise alone. I will outline the Senator's views to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Deputy Smith, and the Minister of State, Deputy Cuffe, and perhaps these issues can be discussed further at the meeting planned for the near future. I acknowledge in particular the case of Mr. Kelly who appears to have suffered substantial losses.
