As regards the Action Plan for Jobs and the legislative commitments therein, serious doubts have emerged in recent weeks over eBay's operation in Dundalk. It is urgent to have clarification on the company's presence in County Louth. There is a lot of anxiety among eBay workers who are nervous about their future. There are obvious implications for them if anything were to happen to the eBay facility there. As the Taoiseach knows, more than 200 people are employed by eBay in Dundalk and the company is a major contributor to the local economy. Will the Taoiseach confirm that every effort is being made by the Government, and particularly by the IDA, to ensure the retention of these jobs in the Dundalk area?

The landlord and tenant law reform Bill has been promised for some time. Will the Taoiseach indicate when it will come before the House?

I am well aware of the anxiety expressed by eBay workers and a number of public representatives have contacted me about it. The IDA has been diligent about this and has been talking to the eBay company and personnel there. The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, might want to give an update on that situation.

Yes. I understand that there is anxiety among the eBay workers. I have had a discussion with the CEO of the IDA, Mr. Martin Shanahan, on this and other matters. The IDA will continue to work with FDI companies to support them in creating jobs in Ireland, and especially in regional and rural Ireland.

The IDA will not and cannot discuss publicly the circumstances of individual companies due to commercially sensitive reasons.
