Question:6 Mr. S. Brennan asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the reason he did not refer to the plan to shed 1,200 jobs at Telecom Éireann in advance of the signing of the deal to sell 20 per cent of the company to overseas purchasers; and if the Government, as a shareholder in Telecom Éireann and arising from its negotiation of the strategic alliance, is aware of any further job losses pending at Telecom Éireann.
