I am not so aware. I have, however, had inquiries made from CIE who have informed me that it is not possible at this stage to give any indication as to the future position of the Board's employees in County Donegal who will be affected by the proposed closure of the Portadown-Derry railway line. The position of the employees concerned will be sympathetically examined by the Board during the next few months and, in accordance with the Board's policy, the employees and their trade unions will be given adequate notice of the Board's intentions.
