Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 May 2013
388. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he or his Department or any of the State agencies within his ministerial remit had representations from or have been in contact with a company (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI am pleased to confirm that the level of redundancies at the Kildare operation of this company is less that at first indicated. Whereas it had been envisaged that up to 70 posts were going to be lost, the position now is that the job losses will total 39, and it is heartening that all of them will be achieved on a voluntary basis. These redundancies will be finalised by the end of this month.
This means that a total of 124 employees will continue working in the Kildare plant. IDA Ireland is working closely with the company to seek to ensure the continued operation of that plant and these discussions are on-going.
