Five former Debenhams workers occupy Waterford store in redundancy protest

Five former Debenhams workers in Waterford have started an occupation inside the store at City Square Shopping Centre in the city.

Ex-Debenhams workers in Waterford have also seen the adverts for packers in Waterford and are urging people not to cross the picket and for KPMG to withdraw these non-unionised workers from all stores immediately. Margaret Sinnot, who has worked on site for 15 years, said they have been fighting too long and hard “to let KPMG come in and try to walk all over us”.

It is understood that stock across the Irish Debenhams stores nationwide is worth in the region of €20 million. “As you know Debenhams has already suspended trading in the Republic of Ireland stores and we can confirm that these stores are not expected to reopen.”
