    The son of the businessman and rugby legend, Tony O'Reilly Junior, says his father felt "obliged" to fight for the workers at the Waterford Crystal producer and that he continues to regret the effect the collapse had on the staff.
    "He is very upset and particularly anguished that, you know, ultimately when the business went into administration it meant that some of the pensions and the benefits that the workers would have had would have been lost. And he wasn't there in the end to be able to stop it," O'Reilly Junior said on RTE documentary to night.

    didnt see it but i fail to see your point, are you blaming him for the mess that was the glass leading to its closure. I do know that Tony O reilly Snr invested large amounts of money in the glass and subsequently lost most of that money in the business.
