Redundant workers seek better pay-off

NEW hopes emerged yesterday for an improved redundancy package for 300 workers who recently lost their jobs in west Limerick.

The former owners of Castlemahon Poultry company have agreed to meet the workers’ union next Monday to discuss the redundancy situation.

The Ballymena, Co Antrim-based O’Kane Group have up until now insisted the workers will only get the two-week statutory lump sum for every year of service.
