Brothers of Charity facing €2m bill for monies owed to staff

THE Brothers of Charity in Limerick could be facing a bill of over €2 million to fund back-pay and increments owed to 150 staff.

This arises from proposals put forward by the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) to the Brothers to resolve a dispute over the non-payment of increments to staff since 2008.

The LRC has given the Brothers to the end of this month to agree with IMPACT, SIPTU and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) to the payment of the monies.
