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.

Talks were held today between management and trade unions to discuss the future redeployment and options for those who wish to take redundancy.
