Further industrial action has been called off at the Kerry Foods plant in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan.

Both Kerry and SIPTU confirmed to the Irish Farmers Journal on Friday that any further planned strike action over redundancies at the plant would cease.

A ballot was held on Thursday, where those involved in the strike action voted and accepted revised options that were put on the table.

In February, Kerry Foods announced that it was seeking 31 redundancies due to falling euro-sterling exchange rates after the Brexit vote of 2016.

Workers at the plant then organised three days of strike action against the terms of the redundancies, the first of which took place on Tuesday, 6 March.

Staff representatives then looked for the redundancy terms to include voluntary redundancies, as well as a premium to be paid in any redundancy package for shift workers.

Now, following a review of the terms, workers have accepted the revised terms and have suspended all further strike action.
