"Today’s news that Limerick based construction company Roadbridge has entered receivership is extremely concerning. My thoughts are with the employees, many of whom I know dedicated their entire careers to the company.

"We are still gathering the full information. I have asked my officials and those in Enterprise Ireland to engage with the company as a matter of urgency.

"Again I am very aware of how disappointing this news is for the company’s hundreds of employees and the wider community. The government is on hand to help in whatever way it can."
