I raise the issue of the Fastway workers. There is a large section in the programme for Government regarding enterprise and employment. The Fastway workers have been caught in an awful mess and treated disgracefully. One of the main depots is in Portarlington. Hundreds of workers and contract drivers are affected. Some workers who are owed wages got no warning whatsoever and cannot apply for a job because they are not officially redundant yet. They had no notice or have no opportunity to sign on. They cannot sign on for social welfare for another three weeks. They have no income. Some self-employed contractors are owed payments going back six, seven or eight weeks. Some of these workers bought vans, bought a franchise - in other words, they bought an area for delivery - from Fastway. There are also undelivered parcels in the system. There are three casualties - the workers, the contractors and the customers waiting for parcels caught in the system.

Thank you, Deputy.

Fastway had tangible assets of €5.2 million at the end of 2024 and €28 million, also at the end of 2024, in intangible assets.

Deputy, your time is up.

It had €10.6 million in cash.

Deputy, your time is way over.

I thank the Deputy for raising a very serious issue. It is a distressing and devastating issue for all those who have been victims, essentially, of the activity and business of this company. Deputy McCormack also raised this publicly. As the Deputy said, there are issues for the workers. We will do everything we can through State agencies to be of assistance to the workers. There are issues of self-employed contractors who are owed money and then customers in terms of confidence and getting the packages supplied to them. We will continue to work with the Ministers involved, particularly in the transport area, to see what more we can do to help the workers and the self-employed contractors concerned.
