The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund application in question contains proposals for the co-financing of a range of measures including occupational guidance, training, upskilling, entrepreneurship and educational opportunities for a total of 653 workers made redundant at the Waterford Crystal plant in Kilbarry, Waterford and at the three ancillary enterprises of Thomas Fennell Engineering, RPS Engineering Services and Abbey Electric.

As the application is currently in inter-service consultation within the European Commission and will subsequently be considered by the College of Commissioners, the European Council and the European Parliament in due course, it is not considered appropriate to divulge its detailed contents at this time.
