Talks go late in bid to avert protest at Moneypoint power station
The participants were trying avert a protest by 200 Polish workers at the Moneypoint plant in Co Clare, which is expected to force the plant to close down.
The workers, employed for a €350 million plant refurbishment, have not been paid for seven weeks and have been told they are losing their jobs as their employer, ZRE Katowicz, has been taken off the job by German contractor Lentjes. They were to be joined at today’s picket by 50 of the 230 permanent employees.
