Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ms Harney)

On 3 October 2000, I received correspondence requesting me inter alia to apply to the High Court to seek the appointment of an inspector to the company in question. The request is being considered by my Department at the moment, and I will take appropriate advice before deciding what action, if any, I should take.
