I refer to the answer to Question Nos. 53 and 102 of the 9th March 2010.

The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) applications from Ireland to date have not been made on a specific geographical basis and my Department continues to monitor redundancies nationwide in order to assess whether further applications, which must meet strict EGF Regulation criteria and conditions, can be successfully made by Ireland.
