Can you not see that workers are only looking for what's owed to them from the national wage agreement nothing else. And the labour court have agreed that this should be paid. Remember it's the workers and their quality of work that keep this company in profit and at the forefront of our industry and deserve to be renumerated. And we can do without people like you quoting absolute tripe.

Interesting you never mentioned the ability to earn a 35% bonus and 8k shift allowance in your initial post!

The rate is 15.70 an hour.The 35% bonus is a production target.If you do not hit it,you do not get it.Not everyone is on shift.So 15.70x37.5 hours x52 weeks is the wage.ciaiem is spot on.

Bit of advice to the Liebherr workers posting on here. I would be surprised if the HR dept in the company have not already seen this thread. Searching through social media is common place now in HR depts. I imagine it wouldn't take a genius to figure out who ye are (somebody who was in Florida a few weeks ago and an Everton supporting fitter called Dave?). I would remove these posts as it could come back to bite you in the ar$e. If you have an argument with another poster, use the private message function maybe.

I don't know why members of An Garda Síochána cannot actually act professionally. I just do NOT know.

Tonight their were two males posing/perving with/on two scantially-slad females instead of actually doing their job and speaking with two young fellas relieving themselves outside a Church!

These alleged professionals are just getting worse & people wonder why I won't work in an environment full-time with characters like that - people who want to cosy up with semi-naked females instead of doing what they are being paid to do!

Another fine example by the alleged professionals on-duty in Killarney tonight.

& don't get me started on their inability to curtail boyracers at all hours of the night.

Hi lad you have a job you should be glad of it. What the workforce and unions did was an act of greed in a time where everyone is struggling.

Without Liebherr, Killarney wouldn't be a patch in what it is today. Taking the factory out of the equation they also have other interests in hotels and apartments which are of huge benefit to Killarney and Kerry.

We all have work and life issues. I also work very hard with a weekly adverage of 50+ hrs. I'm on call every two weeks and often work unsociable hours. I have a wife two young children to support with mortgage car loan etc etc

I took a 5% pay cut and got hit with a three day week last summer. I'm greatfull to be back again full time however its unlikely ill ever see my 5% again.

My defined benefit pension is also up the swanny, lost my bo**ocks in it. But **** it that's life you just have to pick yourself up and move on.

If the job is effecting your health and mental state all the money in the world won't help you there bud!

Liebherr, Marks and Spenser, ESB etc need to suck it up stop moaning and get on with life.

The whole country has issues, get over it.

I could not agree with you more.

The workers need to look at the bigger picture. Will they get an equivalent job & wage & conditions in Killarney if Liebherr pull the plug?

If liebherr pull out of Killarney or make significant changes. It will be a sorry case for everyone involved. Imagine 300 highly skilled workers hitting the dole q!!! What a waste.

Looking for work when there's 300 more all doing the same thing would be a nightmare. It won't matter how highly skilled you are beacuse there'll be 300 more looking for the job too!!!

After visiting Muckross today (we spend a lot of time there) we were shocked about the amount of damage the storm has done over the recent days. Several trees and many big branches have come down all over the park and even the greenhouse had a number (10 or more) of glass panes blown out with broken glass scattered everywhere. Really sad to see and a lot of work for the gardeners in the weeks to come, but I suppose that's also part of nature...

The majority of it is gone into storage...some parts of it got a new lease of life in the Blennerville Windmill complex in Tralee, I wouldn't mind knowing where Frank and the lads that used to run it are now, I've fond memories of the place.

Ah thats a shame... it was a brilliant layout and watching the local heros program on rte the last night made me think of it again. Fond memories alright when i used to visit down that side of the country.

Thanks Uberbeamerman for the info.

We only went from the cafe through the walled garden down to the boathouse and along all the way and in the arboretum major damage was visible in many places. The fallen tree in the pic is right at the back of the cafe at the entrance to the stone garden (this one in better times). The old boat house is self explanatory, but there were many more. As I said, the greenhouse in the walled garden also took a hit with several panes ripped out on both sides and glass scattered quite a bit away from it.
It's really sad because the place is usually spotless and keeping it like that must be a huge effort, especially in autumn. We really like the weekends there and my daughter basically grew up in the woods around Muckross. The cafe btw looks beautiful, they seem to spend days putting up their Christmas decorations every year.

Probably worth taking a look at the blue pool behind Molly Darcy's also. Strong winds cause carnage in that wood as the soil is very loose.
