A planned strike by SIPTU workers at a Bord Gáis contractor which had been scheduled for tomorrow, has been called off.

THOUSANDS of Bord Gáis customers face huge disruption to their service from next Monday because of a strike at one of the supplier’s main contractors.

THE ESB’s €137 million sell-off of its Irish retail network and its British electrical construction business is likely to be the end of the State utility’s disposal of non-core assets at this time.
