David Stanton

Ceist:

27 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the action, if any, he is taking to provide alternative employment in Midleton, County Cork, following the closure of a company (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16960/99]

My Department and Enterprise Ireland are continuing their efforts to obtain an alternative enterprise for the Midleton facility. In that context, negotiations between Enterprise Ireland and a major food company are currently at an advanced stage. As I have indicated previously, it is, of course, essential that this process should not be prejudiced in any way. I expect the negotiations to conclude shortly and I remain optimistic of a successful outcome.
