I propose to take Questions Nos. 207 to 209, inclusive, together.

I wish to refer the Deputy to PQ No. 223 of 2nd October in relation to positions within the newly Integrated Companies. As previously stated, decisions in relation to the advertising and appointment of positions in LEADER and Partnership Groups are matters for the boards of the companies concerned taking into account all relevant legislation, including the European Communities (Protection of Employees on Transfer of Undertakings) Regulations 2003 (SI No. 131 of 2003). My Department has no role or authority in such processes.

Similarly, in relation to the transfer of staff and assets to the company identified by the Deputy, it is matter for the Board of Directors of that company to identify and engage with all relevant companies within their catchment area in regard to transfer of staff and assets.
