Joan Collins (I4C), Dublin South-Central

KPMG attempted overnight to grab stock from Debenhams stores in Limerick and Tralee. Just after 1 a.m., security hired by KPMG arrived at the scene in Limerick and cut the chains securing the gate to the loading bay. An unmarked truck with a Dublin registration arrived at around 4 a.m. but the workers had gathered and prevented the removal of the stock from the store. The truck continued to Tralee and those on board tried, at around 7 a.m., to grab stock from the former Debenhams store there. The workers in Tralee stopped them again. I am aware that the Taoiseach met representatives of the Mandate trade union last week and the shop stewards. He said he would get back to them early this week. It is urgent that he do so. I do not believe he has got back to them yet in respect of the mediation process he was talking about. I ask him to get back to them. When will he do so?
