The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment has met once with senior management of the parent company overseas and its Irish subsidiary. The discussion was without prejudice to the issues before the High Court and centred on putting in place an oversight mechanism enabling workers to access monies held overseas. The Minister subsequently met with a delegation of workers and their representatives and heard at first hand their experiences. The discussion centred on accessing overseas accounts.
