I will return to the issue of Tara Mines. Workers are protesting at the mines. SIPTU has tabled an emergency motion at the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU, conference this morning calling on the Government to urgently engage with the mine's owners, Boliden, and trade unions to put the necessary supports in place to ensure the mine remains in production and workers continue to be paid in full. Will the Government do that? Will it convene a meeting with unions, Boliden and Tara Mines headquarters management, not just local management, on a without prejudice basis?

As I said in answer to an earlier question, the Minister has engaged and the Government continues to engage. There was a meeting and there is ongoing engagement with management and unions also. The Government is working to see what it can do, within state aid parameters, to facilitate an earlier reopening of the mine. The situation is very challenging and very serious for the workers, of that there is no doubt. We will do everything we possibly can to be of support and assistance, as I said earlier.
