The two machines in question were grant-aided by the Industrial Development Authority. This is one of a number of matters which are being discussed by the IDA, Fóir Teoranta and the company in the context of a restructuring programme for the company in question. The question of the sending back of these machines to Ireland will not be resolved until these discussions have been completed.
