Talks aimed at saving some of the eleven hundred jobs at the aircraft maintenance firm, SR Technics, have wound down for the night.
600 workers were made redundant at the firm today.
A further 100 will be laid off by the end of the month, while all operations are to be wound up by the end of August.
A spokesman for the IDA and Enterprise Ireland said there were no major developments and the talks, involving a number of seriously interested parties considering taking over the plant, were likely to continue over a lengthy period.
He said the aim of the two agencies was to reach a solution that was commercially viable and that would create the greatest number of jobs in the long term.
Call on Government
Earlier, unions called on the Government to intervene to avoid an industrial dispute.
SIPTU branch organiser Pat Ward said the successful resolution of the dispute was firmly in the hands of the Government.
He said it was the first real test of its commitment to keep strategic industries afloat and provide a floor below which employment will not be allowed to fall.
He said if political will exists to save the industry it will be saved. If not, it will be gone.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey said he believed some of the jobs at the firm could be saved.
He said the Government would leave 'no stone unturned' to try to keep the jobs in Ireland if a viable financial proposal emerged.
Yesterday, workers voted to accept the Labour Court recommendation on redundancies.
The Court recommended that the company should double its redundancy package from €15m to €30m and finance the deficit in its pension fund.
However, the court also said that the company was not obliged to keep staff when it has no work for them.
