I wish to inform the Deputy that I have no formal role in relation to discussions regarding the operation of companies in receipt of assistance from Údarás na Gaeltachta. I have been informed, however, by an tÚdarás that discussions took place recently between their representatives and representatives of the company regarding the company's future.

The Deputy will by now be aware that, following an announcement on Monday last, the situation within the company is not as serious as had been suggested beforehand. I have also been assured by an tÚdarás that they will continue to work towards identifying new business opportunities for the facility with a view to maintaining employment in the company.
