asked the Minister for Lands if he will state in expansion of a reply of 1st December, 1971, the number of forestry workers not in receipt of services pay at each forest retained at a time when workers in receipt of service pay were laid off or given a redundancy notice.
The reply is in the form of a tabular statement which with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report. The period covered by the reply is the year 1971 to date.
