Vol. 525 No. 1

Written Answers. - Agriculture Industry.

Ceist:

89 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will make a statement in connection with the current employment situation at a company (details supplied) in Dublin 24; the actions of his Department in respect of finding a suitable buyer for this business and the likely employment implications for workers in this factory. [23678/00]

I have no reason to believe that rumours that the company in question is to be placed on the market are anything other than speculation. My information is that the company is currently concentrating on the manufacture of its well known brands and on sustaining its 600 jobs in Ireland. However it should be noted that as a private company, it is entitled to make its own decisions.
