Bord na Móna is conducting a strategic review of the operation of Bord na Móna Recycling. This is code for its intent to sell it to the highest bidder.
SIPTU is campaigning to prevent the privatisation of Bord na Móna Recycling. SIPTU wrote to Minister Eamon Ryan at the end of May.
Regrettably, but not surprisingly, he has refused to meet with us. We have subsequently asked the minister to confirm that he will refuse to allow Bord na Móna sell Bord na Móna Recycling.
There is nothing in the Programme for Government about the privatisation of Bord na Móna Recycling. SIPTU will be making this a General Election issue. We will be campaigning to make sure that this sale does not go ahead.
It would be bad for workers and would be a serious strategic mistake by the state.
Make sure your voice is heard.
