Staff dismissed without notice

Protests are taking place in Dublin and Larne in Co Antrim today, over the redundancy of 800 P&O Ferries' employees.

The demonstration in the capital is underway, at the business' terminal in Dublin Port.

Union leaders are also holding talks with the company today, after they dismissed the staff without notice last week.

President of the RMT Union, Alex Gordon will address a demonstration at Larne Port later:

"No question, the brand has taken a hit."

The CEO of P&O Ferries apologises to 800 workers who were sacked last week, admitting to MPs that the company was aware the decision would be "controversial".
