Mr. Tom Donnellan:

I will comment on that because there has been a lot of commentary about it. The best just transition that we can provide is a job, a full-time pensionable job, which Bord na Móna has provided for the past 80 years. We have opened up a limited voluntary redundancy scheme. The decision on who is accepted is a key one based on business needs and skill sets, which are the two criteria used. In the previous programme which we ran last year, 35% of the people who got voluntary redundancy were over 60. I would like to nail that myth that people are being discriminated against because of their age.
