County House in Lifford
Donegal County Council says there is no proposal to reduce jobs by 400 and no proposals for compulsory redundancies in Donegal.
Following the announcement by Irish Water of its Business Plan in October 2015 Management and the Unions nationally have been in discussion under the aegis of the Workplace Relations Commission to ensure a managed approach to any reductions in jobs across the country initially for the period 2016 and 2017.
“When these discussions have been concluded at a national level the Council will be informed of the outcome. The Council will be making no further comment pending the outcome of the national discussions,” said a spokesman.
The issue was raised this week by Cllr Frank McBrearty who said he had been approached by council workers saying the had plans to strike over the issue.
