Tara Mines reaches agreement with unions which could see operations resume

The agreement will 'result in changes to the operation of Tara'

Tara Mines closed during the summer last year leaving 650 staff out of work. 

Staff at Tara Mines in Co. Meath, which has been shut down since June last year, are to be balloted on a set of proposals between the mine’s operators and unions which could see work resume.

After operations at the mine ceased last year, 650 people were left out of work with just essential maintenance being carried out in the meantime.
