1635. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if her attention has been drawn to the fact that one of the reasons given to workers for redundancies at a company (details supplied) is that the lease has run out on the current premises where work is being carried out; and, if this is the issue, whether she will request IDA Ireland to seek a suitable alternative premises for the company.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1634 and 1635 together.

I understand that Probiotec Ltd, an Enterprise Ireland client, was acquired by LS Nutricare Ltd in September 2016. LS Nutricare Ltd is an Irish subsidiary of a Seychelles registered entity called the Lilium Stanley Group. Officials from Enterprise Ireland made contact with LS Nutricare Ltd in December 2016 in relation to the ongoing situation in Dundalk and are currently awaiting a response.
