The Interagency response group met for the first time on 18 March in Dublin City Local Enterprise Office (LEO). The meeting was chaired by an Enterprise Ireland Regional Director and was attended by the Heads of Function of Dublin City and Fingal LEOs, a representative of the Enterprise Ireland Food Division, IDA Ireland, Education and Training Boards from Tallaght and Ballyfermot, the Department of Social Protection and Citizens Information Bureau.
Following a presentation from the Enterprise Ireland Food Division, there was a comprehensive discussion about action items and a discussion on when such interventions are likely to happen.
I understand that the company entered the negotiation process with the Unions last week. The Interagency Response Group will meet again in a number of weeks when discussions between the Unions and Management are at a more advanced stage. It will only be at this point that any proposed actions could be finalised and implemented.
