Union’s representing workers at Bord na Mona will meet on Monday morning to plan their next course of action.

It’s after the company announced it’s to close its peat briquette plant in Littleton in Tipperary by next April with the loss of 69 permanent jobs.

It says there will also be an impact on a further 56 peat harvesting jobs in the area.

BNM Group of Unions Secretary and SIPTU Organiser, John Regan says industrial action can’t be ruled out.
