Pallas workers receive unexpected windfall
The staff at Pallas Foods in Newcastle West received an unexpected windfall when the former owners of the company left them a parting gift.
The gift to the 500 staff, worth millions of euro, will see them receive a gift of €1,500 for each year served. Staff who have been there since the company started will walk away with an amount in excess of €30,000.
The gift was given by the former owners, the Geary Family, after the company was sold to multinational company Sysko.
