Public meeting to be held for Laois Fastway workers in Portarlington

Sinn Féin politicians in the Midlands have organised the event

A public meeting has been organised for Laois Fastway workers made redundant following the receivership of Fastway couriers.

Laois Sinn Féin Senator Maria McCormack has paired up with Offaly Sinn Féin Cllr Claire Murray to organise this event.

This public-multi agency meeting aims to give advice on receiving owed payments from the company, and advice on the next steps former employees should take.

“I’ve been inundated with calls from Fastway workers over the past week, and that’s why we’ve organised this multi-agency meeting — to get them the advice and support they need right now," Senator McCormack told the Leinster Express / Laois Live.

"I know how difficult this time is for workers and their families, especially so close to Christmas. No one should be left in limbo- they deserve fairness, respect, and a clear plan for what happens next," she finished.
