Industrial Development
Dail Éireann — 2024-07-11
============================================================

Ged Nash (LAB), Louth

The Minister will be well aware of Becton Dickinson's plans to close its Drogheda operation, which has been there for 60 years. I place on record my gratitude to the Minister for having met some of the local TDs, including me, last week, for his continued engagement with IDA Ireland on this matter and for meeting the trade unions and shop stewards yesterday. He might outline what he plans to do about this matter in the coming weeks.
