Bord na Móna has confirmed that after an unprecedented fall in commercial revenues and a collapse in their horticultural sales, the company is to lay off 230 employees. It said that all of those impacted will continue to receive 100% of basic pay while the company avails of the wage subsidy scheme introduced during the Covid-19 emergency.
The decision has been criticised by the Bord na Móna group of unions, which said the decision would hit the wages of workers heavily and was not necessary as a decision on the summer harvest is expected in the next three weeks.
