1203. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the actions she has taken to protect jobs at a company (details supplied) and put supports in place for employees that will be made redundant; if she has spoken with the management of the company regarding these job losses; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I understand that the company in question has indicated it will phase out its operations in Sligo over the next few years.  It has indicated that there will be no job losses this year and that the majority of its workers will remain in employment until 2020.  Nevertheless, my Department has already taken steps to contact the company with a view to advising its workers of their social welfare entitlements if they are made redundant and the various employment supports that are available.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
