Seems they should reserve it for people with efficient stoves if that’s the case. kg/s is a bit much!!!!

It does appear that they are involved in wind energy as well and that part of the company is growing.

In other words when the turf runs out they’ll stick up a wind farm.

They still don’t deserve a pay rise!

€44.8k average salary and 165 company cars. The poor dears…

Cheers Emmet, I officially have no sympathy.

I’ll start tomorrow for €35k

With a pay cut as well!

Grainne, Bord na Mona, like the banks, is a loss making organisation and is only keeping the doors open courtesy of the taxpayers.
The thought of it’s well-paid employees going on strike for higher wages will, unsurprisingly, infuriate most of the hard pressed people in this country.

Sean Im afraid you have your facts wrong. Bord na mona is a highly profitable organisation. Look at the profits made over the previous 4 years. High level management in the company recieve high salaries but the workers at the bottom dont. This pay increase was agreed nearly 6 years ago and it should be honoured.

Pat, The towards 2016 agreement is a dead letter. This is NOT an entitlement. They should not get it.
Any profits that BnM make go back into the company or to its shareholder, ie the state. Let them strike.

“rightfully theirs” – their entitlements? Things have changed quite a bit since this was agreed. The world doesn’t owe you a living. There are plenty who’d be willing to do these jobs for the wages and conditions offered. Don’t want to see a race to the bottom, but their attitude is crazy.

In my view this company should be privatised & let them go on strike then. We as a nation are paying no more. The cost of running this country is too high. That means if you work for the state your costing too much. Cut the wages paid out by the state. If their not happy privatise it.
