Minister for the Environment (Mr. Howlin)

Every organisation seeking to participate in the Local Government (Transfer of Service) Scheme, 1984 must comply with the conditions of the scheme. While Bord na Móna has not, to date, sought to participate in the scheme, I understand that the company is giving consideration to the question of participation.
