Workers protest €15m pension deficit

A GROUP of former Bord na Móna workers protested in Tullamore, Co Offaly, yesterday over what they claimed was a €15m deficit in the company’s pension schemes.

However, Bord na Móna pointed out that it is in the middle of reforming the two pension schemes that it operates.

Managing director Gabriel D’Arcy said the company will honour losses made in the general employee superannuation scheme.
