Offaly has been hit news of job losses in recent months.
An Offaly TD wants State supports to bring town centres back to life and attract retails stores back to high streets.
Tony McCormack believes 'foreign direct investment' businesses should be assisted to thrive and not just survive.
This comes following recent jobs losses at two companies in Offaly.
Nelipak Healthcare Packaging in Clara is set to make up to 40 redundancies by the end of this month, followed by Cardinal Health's departure which will lead to more than 300 job losses when it closes next year.
Deputy McCormack says Ireland needs to maintain the companies already here:
