: Is due consideration also being given to cases of factories which were not bankrupt closing down where the interests of the employees have not been sufficiently protected?

: That is a separate issue, but I have given the answer as far as the Deputy's question applies at present.

: Would the Minister accept that, in view of the Ferenka situation, a problem has arisen where factories other than those which go bankrupt, close without giving the minimum notice, and that the situation calls for urgent action by the Government?

: That is a completely different question. If the Deputy puts it down to me I will give him the answer.
