Fergus O'Dowd (FG), Louth

I would like to express my concerns about the loss of jobs in County Louth this week. Some 172 jobs will be lost in PayPal. Since January, over 70 redundancies have been announced at Hilton Food Group. There are concerns about jobs in Premier Periclase, which is a local industry in Drogheda that is in transition. I compliment IDA Ireland on the work it has done in buying additional land in County Louth. I am speaking particularly of the 39-acre IDA Ireland park in Drogheda. It has made a commitment to an advanced building solution there. I ask it to fast-track the servicing of that site, so that new industry will hopefully go in there. It could do this by working with the chambers of commerce in Dundalk and Drogheda. Would the Tánaiste put a visit to County Louth on his agenda as soon as possible?
