Unions are discussing options with the workers.
SIPTU says it is fully committed to engaging with Bord Na Mona over its plan to close a midlands briquette factory in six weeks.
Workers were left shocked when the semi state company moved up the date to cease production on June 1st.
Talks were held today between management and trade unions to discuss the future redeployment and options for those who wish to take redundancy.
Industry Orangiser Henry O Shea says it the process has to be done as smoothly as possible:
