205. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he has received notification of potential redundancies at a company (details supplied); the plans of his Department and the enterprise agencies to support the company in order to see as many jobs as possible retained at the operation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5588/22]
View answerMy Department has been notified of the potential redundancies at this company. Enterprise Ireland is in ongoing communication with the company and is closely monitoring developments. The company is in the early stages of establishing a workforce consultation process with employees whose jobs are potentially at risk.
Working with Enterprise Ireland, our objective is to help sustain both the company and employment in the area. In that regard, discussions have commenced in relation to the potential for relevant Enterprise Ireland assistance to address the current challenges being experienced by the company.
The employment services of the other State agencies, including Intreo, will be available to any impacted workers as they assess their options.
