Seanad

Saving Clerys jobs and pensions

Summary

The Senator asks what the Seanad and Government can do to protect Clerys jobs, pensions, franchise holders and other affected businesses, including possible legal action.

What can the Seanad do to save these jobs and pensions and the franchises within it that will also lose money, wares and so on? Will the Leader invite the relevant Minister to the House? I could ask him or her what we can do about this and whether we can challenge it in the commercial court in terms of there being one law for one group of people and a lesser law for the traders and people who work there. What can we as a Seanad do outside of the language of "it is appalling", "it is outrageous" and "I attended the protest"? That language is not enough.
