Jobs at Bord na Móna in the midlands are still in doubt, despite the Lanesboro facility re-opening this week.
The future of Bord na Móna jobs is still in doubt, despite the Lough Ree power station re-opening this week.
The ESB says the plant is gradually coming back on-line at 'prudent levels', after being closed in July over a hot water discharge into the River Shannon.
But Siptu's Willie Noone fears it could be shut down again as soon as December, unless a state subsidy is extended.
He's not sure if peat will be needed at Laneboro and Shannonbridge thereafter, putting hundreds of livelihoods at risk:
