There are 14 men in the syndicate, they all work as machine operators at the BD Medical plant in in Dun Laoghaire, and each man will receive just under €18,000.
Syndicate member Gareth Kelly has worked at the plant for ten years and was 'over the moon' when he received a call informing him of the win, but when he tried to share the good news with his colleagues they thought he was having a joke.
"None of the lads would believe me," Kelly said. "I rang four lads, and they wouldn't believe me . . . but happy days."
