47 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Energy if he has met with a deputation from the workforce representing the three mining companies in Arigna, County Roscommon, and those operating the ESB Arigna Power Station who expressed concern at the proposal to close down the power station and subsequently terminate the economic life of the associated coal mines; if, having regard to the impact on the local community from the social and economic point of view, he is prepared to request the ESB to continue the operation of the power station until such time as the remaining supplies have been mined in order that the interim period could be used to find alternative industries to obtain employment in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
