Staff not paid because of bank error

SEVENTY workers at the National Aquatic Centre weren't paid their wages because of a bank error.

Money due to be paid to the employees by the operators of the centre, Dublin Waterworld Ltd, failed to appear in their accounts yesterday. Angry workers contacted management who told them the problem would be sorted immediately.

AIB Bank has said that the missed payments were due to a "technical error".

The wages were due to be paid into the workers' accounts last night.

It looks like things haven't improved for staff at the National Aquatic Centre while the court case drags on with the extra 14 days stay that the judge awarded to Waterworld.
