Interesting Release from Labour Broughan calls for State to lead relaunched SR Technics Now it runs to 1130 words in length and only
We are also the only Party who have resolutely stood by the SR Technics workers at Dublin Airport and we are determined to do everything possible to protect the nearly 1200 SR jobs at this critical centre of excellence for aviation engineering at Dublin Airport. Let me renew my call this morning for Ministers Coughlan and Dempsey to fully protect the pensions and redundancy entitlements of the SRT workers, to purchase the SRT speciality tools and capital equipment and to direct the Dublin Airport Authority to make the SRT hangars available for a new commercial state enterprise or an enterprise with majority state shareholding supported by IDA Ireland.
is about the Title the rest is about general transport. But one thing of note from the above is the idea of the State getting into the aircraft maintence business. Is this something we should do because the tools etc are there? There is tools etc to make computers in Dell Limerick as well should the government get into making computers as well? Is this a good spend of our limited capital resources? Or is this just Parish Pump politics as Broughan is TD for Dublin North East
I think that this is a absolute disgrace for S.R.Technics to be allowed close without a takeover. The amount of money coming into this country from outside was enormous, and is still there for the taking. What it needs is investment, if not from a outside party, then from our government. Let the profit go back into our country, instead of into someone Else’s pocket. The amount of family lives that were provided for from this company, are are now facing enormous worry of uncertainty. They could be maintained again. The tax, and P.R.S.I, from this Aircraft company, and employee’s must have a vast effect on the economy. Now these people are on Social Welfare payments, these are all adding up, making our economic crises even worse. These family people who work there, are highly skilled people, probably some of the best in the world. The Airport is continuously getting bigger, and more Aircraft coming in all the time. The Base,the Machinery,the Knowledge,the skills,and the people are all there. Consider all of this, get this industry at Dublin Airport up, and running again, for the better of the country
