Man on hunger strike over redundancy pay

A MAN began a hunger strike yesterday in an effort to force a better redundancy package from his employers.

“I’m prepared to die. I’ll go ‘til the end. I’ll either get the package or go out in a timber box,” a defiant John Lane said last night.

The 54-year-old from Ballylanders in Co Limerick worked with Dairygold for 38-and-a-half years.
