Mr. Mike Quinn:

Staff at both factories will be on short-time working for five additional weeks this year. We have secured 29 additional positions out of the total workforce of 120 in the harvesting of feedstock. We began harvesting last Sunday and as long as the weather remains good - which we need it to do - those 29 people will be employed until the briquette factories resume production on 10 September. We have also brought forward some capital works from next year into this year in order to try to minimise the impact. In addition, we have drawn up a roster in respect of site security. This will involve staff doing two days of site security work on a rotating shift basis and then doing three days on short-time hours. We have tried to minimise the impact wherever possible.
