Vol. 440 No. 1

Written Answers. - Withdrawal of Garda Cover.

Noel Ahern

Ceist:

75 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment if any businesses have given the withdrawal of Garda cover due to alleged problems with alarm systems as the cause for any plant closures or job losses; and if he will work with the Minister for Justice to protect the jobs in plants (details supplied) in Dublin 11; where Garda cover was withdrawn and where the insurance policy is now under threat which could damage the viability and prospects of the plant in the eyes of the foreign principals.

As far as I am aware the withdrawal of Garda cover due to alleged problems with alarm systems has not generally been cited as a major reason for plant closures or job losses.

The specific case raised by the Deputy was brought to my attention last week. I am following the matter up in consultation with the Minister for Justice and every possible effort will be made to resolve the problem in order to protect employment in the company.
