Proinsias De Rossa

Question:

188 Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht if, in view of the decision of the Government to make ex gratia payments to the former employees of a company, he will now make a similar arrangement for the former employees of another semi-State company (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of the Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht (Mr. Gallagher,

Donegal South West): Ní comhlucht Stát-tionscanta é an comhlucht i nDún na nGall dá dtagraítear sa Cheist ach fochomhlucht de chuid Údarás na Gaeltachta. Chomhairligh an tArd Aighne don Aire Airgeadais cheana féin nach raibh cumhacht ag an Údarás íocaíochtaí breise iomarcaíochta a dhéanamh sa chás. Tá tuilleadh fiosrúchán á ndéanamh faoin scéal, áfach, i láthair na huaire.
