Kenny ‘felt’ for plight of workers

Taoiseach Enda Kenny met with protesting Vita Cortex workers to tell them he was taking “a personal interest” in their plight, and would be contacting the enterprise minister today for a briefing on Jack Ronan’s finances.

The workers’ sit in, over the refusal of company owner, Jack Ronan to pay promised redundancy, is now in its 51st day.

Staff again went to Tipperary yesterday to protest outside Mr Ronan’s home.
