The correspondence from Deputy Mac Lochlainn referred to in the question was addressed to my colleague Mr Leo Varadkar, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, who, I understand, replied to the Deputy in late September. The e-mail correspondence was also copied to my Office.

In this regard, the Deputy has since been in contact with officials in my Office who issued a response to the Deputy, by e-mail on 12th October, clarifying the procedures, and the course of actions that are pursued by Enterprise Ireland, should a supported company go into liquidation, receivership or examinership.
