Government plans selective deferment during slack season
Mr Mac Namara explains post ponement policy will allow those with approved essential employment to continue. There is no plan to interfere with farm production or remove workers needed for autumn and year round farm work. A substantial margin of men may be spared in the coming months and those are the men targeted.
