Just 2% of Ordnance Survey staff ‘interested in Waterford move’

THE Government will never manage to encourage enough Ordinance Survey staff to make a proposed move to Dungarvan in Co Waterford viable, a union boss has warned.

According to IMPACT assistant general secretary Matt Staunton, only 2% of the 250 Ordnance Survey staff have shown an interest in the Waterford move and the transfer is just not viable, no matter what the Government intends, he said.

"It's a shameful waste and it's back to the drawing board for the Government as far as we are concerned," he said.
