IFI workers heckle Ahern

THE Taoiseach was heckled by more than 300 angry IFI workers, seeking an improved redundancy package, when he arrived in Cork last night.

Workers are furious at the €24.4 million redundancy fund offered by the company’s shareholders after IFI plants in Arklow, Belfast and Cork shut down yesterday.

Mr Ahern and Health Minister Micheál Martin met with union officials at Cork Airport before attending a Fianna Fáil fundraiser in the Silver Springs Hotel.
