Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I raise the case of Tara Mines and the 650-plus jobs under threat there. Are the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Coveney, at the table with Tara Mines? Have they met the company? SIPTU is in discussions with the management at Tara Mines. Specific requests have been made of the Government regarding direct support for energy costs. It was rumoured and reported that the Government is looking at a potential scheme in that regard. Has the Taoiseach an update on that?
