Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tom Donnellan:

I would like to finish. The Deputy referred to Mount Dillon. We did not lay of 150 workers. One of the stations in Mount Dillon went offline. All the permanent workers were kept online. The seasonal workers were sent home, but that does not impact them financially one bit. Seasonal workers in Bord na Móna are guaranteed a set number of days in a year and we honour those days. We sent them home at the time, but we have since called them back. If by the end of the year we have not called them back., they will be fully paid for those days. Therefore, there is no financial impact on those employees.
