With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 7 and 8 together. I am informed by Bord na Móna that Bangor Erris and Bellacorrick are regarded as a single administrative area by the board and that it is normal practice to transfer workers from one to the other as the need arises. The following are the figures required:—
