I thank the Minister of State for that reply. The main emphasis has to be on the retention of the jobs in their current locations. I would like assurance that the jobs will be ring-fenced and protected in their current locations. The big concern is that Liberty Mutual may, after a time, move this operation to the Far East or somewhere similar. The wider concern is that in regard to the group in general, the cement factory and the other factories will be sold off gradually and the jobs will disappear. What guarantees has the Government succeeded in getting from potential purchasers of the various outlets that the jobs will be ring-fenced and will continue to exist in their current locations?
