Job Losses
Seanad Éireann — 2025-09-24
============================================================

Mike Kennelly (FG), Labour Panel

As the Minister of State said, I can confirm the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment has not received a collective redundancy notification. This is warming to hear this morning. Through the Departments, can we as a Government intervene before we get this dreaded letter from Kostal informing us that this is happening? With contract law and all that, is it possible to intervene beforehand? I do not know. However, rather than waiting for it, let us knock on the door of Kostal to see what the Government can do to maybe save these jobs and protect these people's futures with further employment. Will the Government look at that?
