Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for that very positive contribution on this unit that has been vacant for a number of years. Ultimately, the final decision rests with those who wish or do not wish to locate, as the Minister of State said. However, I am very heartened by the response this morning. The fact there are negotiations with a company is very positive and I appreciate there is only so far the Minister of State can go and so much she can say. This is the first breakthrough we have had since 2021, so I will take that as a positive. Hopefully, the negotiations the Minister of State alluded to that are all subject to contract or contract denied will get over the line and find an end user there that will be of huge benefit to the local economy of Monaghan. I am very heartened and thank the Minister of State for her response.
