On 15 December last, some 27 employees of Lagan Brick in Kingscourt, County Cavan, were told by management that the company was no longer viable and would close with immediate effect. The employees have picketed the plant since then in an effort to ensure they get their entitlements. Talks with the Labour Relations Commission collapsed earlier this year. The company has refused to take this matter to the Labour Court. Will the Deputy Leader invite the Minister, Deputy Bruton, to the House so we can discuss this matter?
