Paul Connaughton Snr (Galway East, Fine Gael)

Is the Taoiseach aware that countless hundreds of Coillte forestry workers lost their jobs this week in the forests of Ireland? Many of them have been put on short time and are receiving social welfare payments, despite the fact that there are endless amounts of work to be done in State forests. Can the Taoiseach give those workers some indication as to why they were laid off?
