I too welcome my socialist colleague Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett back into action. I welcome also the election of a socialist in New York, the belly of the beast of capitalism, Zohran Mamdani.

I welcome the Fastway Couriers workers to the Public Gallery today. Perhaps it will be third time lucky because two TDs have already asked the Minister about this. I ask him to look them in the eye and tell them what they are to do for the next 30 days. They have been blindsided by their company. They were told they were making vast profits and then they were dumped. They are told they are not allowed to sign on for any social security measures for 30 days or they risk losing their redundancy and the wages they are owed. They are caught in a complete double bind. We need a statutory instrument to get around this. The law needs to be changed but they do not have time to wait for that. Elysian Capital, the big venture capitalist company that seems to own it, pulled the plug on this company coming up to the busiest month of the year for couriers, quite amazingly, given it could have recouped some of the debts it was owed. I do not know if the Minister is going to investigate that.

I thank the Deputy.

Will the Ministers for Social Protection and employment please meet these workers to sort this out?

I was setting out the honest position relating to receivership, which has a legal standing, and the Deputy needs to be honest about it as well.

I am being honest.

There is a long-standing legal mechanism when it comes to receivership and when a person is appointed. As I said to our two colleagues, the Departments of both enterprise and Social Protection are engaged in this. One is part of the notification and the other is engaging in the context of the real issues and challenges that I know the workers are facing. I will reflect on what the Deputy and others have said and bring it to the Minister for Social Protection. That is why the Department is engaging in this. We will allow that to continue over the coming days. The Minister will be able to set out further details.

Why are none of them here? It is very poor.
