Projections or estimates of future financial results or employment and apprenticeship levels in respect of Bord na Móna are operational matters for the Board and management of Bord na Móna plc and are not matters in which I have a direct statutory function.

The annual report and accounts for Bord na Móna plc for the year ending 30 March 2011 has been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas in accordance with section 24 of the Turf Development Act 1998 and can be accessed in the Oireachtas library or on Bord na Móna's website at www.bordnamona.ie. I have asked Bord na Móna to respond directly to the Deputy in respect of the matters raised as appropriate and where such information is to hand.
