My Department, in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland, examined the position regarding contingent liabilities arising from the closure of the plant in question at Rooskey, Co. Roscommon. Having regard to all the factors involved, including the company's significant capital investment in the Irish pork sector and the retention of cannery operations at Rooskey for a number of years, agreement was given by my Department to the assignment of the remaining contingent liabilities at Rooskey to the new assets at the company's plants in Roscrea and Edenderry.
