Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

There has been bad news about 240 job losses in Google's Irish workforce, and there have been constant worries about the tech sector. Like many of my constituents in Dundalk, I am worried about PayPal and its proposed 7% worldwide cut. What is our interaction with the tech sector? We are facing into a period of considerable job losses. While the tech sector will undoubtedly continue, I am worried about the future of its workers and I want to ensure that everything is being done to facilitate those who are leaving one workplace for another.
