UNITE trade union says the future needs to be looked at in proper detail.

Bord na Móna is being asked to commit to a five year deal for workers involved in the bog rehabilitation project.

UNITE trade union is making the request after the semi-state company announced it's ending peat harvesting with immediate effect.

No timeline has been given as to when the €5 million programme to re-purpose the bogs could come to an end.

Regional officer with UNITE, Edenderry's Colm Quinlan says it's time the future was looked at in proper detail:
