Bruton urged to visit Vita Cortex

FIANNA Fáil leader Micheál Martin has called on Jobs Minister Richard Bruton to meet with staff at Vita Cortex in Cork as a matter of urgency.

Mr Martin described the treatment of the workers as “appalling”. He said everything must be done to ensure staff were paid the redundancy they are owed.

In a statement he said: “What is happening here is nothing short of disgraceful. The Vita Cortex employees were promised as far back as September that they would be paid redundancy of 2.9 weeks per year of service.”
