"Madam President, it has now been over a year since the aircraft maintenance firm SR Technics announced that they were closing their facility at Dublin airport, with the loss of over a thousand jobs. In an effort to compensate for those losses, an application was submitted in October 2009 to the European Globalisation Fund (EGF) on behalf of SR Technics workers. However, this form was rejected as ‘incomplete’ by the Commission and I can confirm that, almost five months later, the Irish Government has still not submitted a complete application.
While the Irish Government has been distracted by an economic collapse of its own making and a spate of ministerial resignations in the last few months, an application form with the potential to transform hundreds of lives has been left sitting on a minister’s desk.
This House is aware that the Irish state coffers are bare. A cynic would be forgiven for thinking that the government’s inaction may be down to its own difficulty in meeting its end of the bargain if the EGF payments are finally secured. Would the Irish Government be prepared to do something about that?"@en1
