That should be one of the outcomes of today's meeting. We have repeatedly heard how crucial and urgent it is that this matter be addressed. I agree with Ms King on that. If the Minister refuses to tell Bord na Móna to engage and if the company remains resolute in its opposition to entering talks in the WRC, what course of action is left to ICTU, the unions, the workers and their communities? What else can they do, given that two thirds of the workers have been let go and, as Mr. Noone stated, the other third might be gone by March.
