The Government is very aware of the opportunities in Waterford and Enterprise Ireland will be actively working with the company to pursue alternative enterprises on this site. Clearly, this is not a blame game. What is important is that the Government creates an environment which is supportive of enterprise and the creation of jobs. We must encourage those with good ideas to commercialise them. That is the job of Government and we are very determined to continue this work. I have no doubt that this issue will be on the agenda of the task force for the south east set up recently by the Minister, Deputy Bruton.
