The work was specifically funded to secure short-term employment for Bord na Móna workers.
Just two out of every five jobs promised within Bord na Móna for bog rehabilitation work across the midland counties have been filled.
That's according to a Dáil reply received by Roscommon-Galway TD Denis Naughten.
He says the work was specifically funded to secure short-term employment for Bord na Móna workers.
However, just 152 jobs offered to date out of 350 potential positions.
The independent rep says seasonal staff can't be thrown aside in the height of what was the traditional peat harvesting season.
