Job losses in County Roscommon

Summary

Mr. Leyden asked about job losses since 1982 and claimed more than 600 jobs had been lost, later arguing that no jobs had been created in four years. The Minister invited him to submit a separate question, and the Ceann Comhairle ruled the matter separate.

Has the Minister any indication of the number of job losses in County Roscommon since 1982? Will he confirm that over 600 jobs have been lost from 1982 to date?

Comment on this

(Limerick East): That is an entirely different question. If the Deputy puts down the question I will be happy to answer it.

Comment on this

Does the Minister not think it is relevant to the question in relation to the jobs which are allegedly created? As far as I am aware, not one job has been created in County Roscommon in the past four years.

That is a separate question.
