Imelda Munster (SF), Louth

I will raise the shocking announcement of 77 job losses at Hilton Foods in Drogheda last Friday. This news is bad at any time, but is especially so coming so soon after Christmas. It has been a devastating blow to those 77 workers and their families. I have appealed to the Tánaiste to engage with the company to explore all avenues as a means to protect those jobs. I ask the Taoiseach and the Government to take a proactive approach and to engage with the company to ensure that every single cost-saving exercise is being explored to try to save those jobs. I also ask them to ensure that all supports and help available to those workers will be followed through on.
