To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will support a matter (details supplied). Deputy Finian McGrath.

* For WRITTEN answer on Tuesday, 2nd February, 2010.

Question: Any concerns about jobs at Cadbury’s in Coolock, Dublin following Kraft’s take-over and to ensure the maximum support for the company in 2010.

REPLY

Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ms. Coughlan)

Enterprise Ireland is in constant contact with the Ireland management team of the company that is the subject of the proposed takeover and continues to advise my Department on developments as they occur. Once the takeover is confirmed, and as soon as it is appropriate to do so, Enterprise Ireland plans to develop a strategy as regards working with the company and initiating discussions with the new owners.

I would like to assure the Deputy that I, together with Enterprise Ireland and the other relevant State agencies, will take all possible action to protect the existing jobs in the company.
