Unfortunately, the early warning system did not involve the workers. I am not in any way concerned about the information public representatives are given. As it turned out, I ended up receiving information before the workers and the trade union. Clearly, the early warning system did not work for the workers.

I raised the wider issue of job creation in Waterford. The point I was making was related to the south-east economic development strategy and its core recommendations. I am making a direct appeal to the Minister. Is he prepared to meet me to discuss the report, its recommendations and the efforts that can be made by him and Government agencies to implement the report? Will he give me that commitment?
