Mr. R. Burke
The former operating company of these collieries is in liquidation. The liquidator has informed me that the collieries have been sold and the necessary legal formalities are being completed but the timing of re-opening is a matter for the purchaser.
Is the Minister saying he has information which indicates that the purchaser does propose to reopen Rossmore Collieries?
Mr. R. Burke
Yes, I have some information which would indicate a trend in that direction.
