SIPTU's divisional organiser, Adrian Kane says putting it up for sale is not right:

'We'll I'd much prefer to be here fighting for the jobs that people who have lost their jobs, but this isn't acceptable.

I've called this an act of industrial vandalism and unfortunately the current management team at Bord Na Mona has no sense of the historic importance of this building and the thousands of workers who worked here.'
