MENLOUGH WATER SCHEME WORKERS PROTEST IN THE CITY

Date Published: 10-Feb-2010

A group of workers unhappy over alleged unpaid wages on the Menlough Water Scheme are staging a protest outside Galway County Council offices this morning.

The workers, who are upgrading a private group water scheme in Menlough, are still in dispute with Oliver Donlan Developments Ltd, Mullingar since last May.

The SIPTU members are claiming the firm owes them money for holiday pay and pay over Christmas.

They’re claiming a ruling made in their favour by the Construction Industry Disputes Tribunal has not been implemented by Oliver Donlon Developments Ltd.

The group of between 7 and 12 workers are staging a protest outside the county council headquarters on Prospect Hill in the City.
