I propose to take Questions Nos. 130, 131, 132, 133, 134 and 135 together.
The information sought in the Questions are operational matters for Bord na Móna, as such, it is not information held by my Department. It is suggested that the Deputy contact Bord na Mona directly in relation to this matter at oireachtas@bnm.ie.
