No forced redundancies at station, says ESB

THERE will be no forced redundancies at the ESB generating station in Tarbert, Co Kerry, which is to close in 2010 with the loss of up to 129 jobs, the ESB pledged yesterday.

Sources said there is little or no chance of a reversal of the closure decision.

Community leaders in the village reacted with shock and anger at the development, which took many people by surprise.
