With regard to Moorepark Technology, a company within Teagasc in Fermoy that does wonderful work, 18 employees have been locked out of public pay restoration because the company is semi-owned by the State. This is a very new situation that has not occurred in the past. The employees had pay cuts through previous pay deals and were not subject to pay restoration this year or late last year. They are on public sector pensions. I would appreciate it if the Tánaiste raised this with the Departments of Public Expenditure and Reform and Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It is very important to the 18 employees.
