The employment of staff in the Shannon Airport sales and catering staff is primarily a matter for the catering comptroller. I am informed by the comptroller that, as has been reported in the public press, 70 employees of the sales and catering service have become redundant. Reports of further redundancy have not come to my notice, nor am I aware that further redundancy exists.
Every effort is being made to obtain alternative employment for the staff recently redundant.
