    What are you talking about? Where did i say that? Were you fired from them or something? You clearly have an issue with them?

    I have an issue with them working when they shouldnt be for the greater good of people and government orders. I live in killarney and know what the word locally is being said. People are not happy.

    They've stayed open cause theres a standing order for a crane involved in the transport chain, so i would imagine that would class it as essential. Whether they stay open after next week is yet to be seen.

    Fair point but i think they will find something else as an excuse to keep it open. IMO.

    Ah lads come on seriously. Is it not a concern? Profit before peoples lives? If you agree with that then you are nothing but a shame and couldn't care about peoples welfare.

    Tbh, I've no connection to the factory and have no idea of the goings on. The thread I linked to above used to have some Liebherr employees posting there so maybe any questions you have would be answered there. I dont know why they're still operating, or even if they actually are, but I'd assume a plant that big cant just be shut down so would need some staff in.

    All that said, I really have no idea and maybe asking on the other thread might get a better response

    Would you consider calling them or dropping into them when you're passing by and asking what their official comment is? Might give them an opportunity to defend their actions or explain the situation as I doubt they're actively monitoring this thread.

    No i won't. But i am worried about all the new covid 19 cases in Kerry. It be in their best interest to shut down until this virus is gone.
