‘Highway 6’ end sit-in as petrol station’s new operators agree to staff’s demands

The six former staff members of the Highway Retail Ltd-run filling station in Ballyvolane have said they are "delighted" to know that they will spend Christmas at home, having ended their 15-day sit-in.

It was confirmed yesterday that Applegreen will take over the business, and that a transfer of undertakings is in place that will see the “Highway 6” kept on with the new company, starting from next Monday.

The group had started the sit-in to secure their entitlements after the previous business closed.
