Breda Graham After over 406 days of picketing for a just redundancy settlement, former Debenhams workers put down their placards this week and are walking away with their “heads held high”.

We have seen it in Dublin where a bin was emptied and a person was killed. I would be saying to shop owners and companies to be vigilant. Keep an eye on them. They are only trying to stay in from the elements. Elaine Kelleher, who is also on Debenhams picket duty on St Patrick s Street, said that what they have seen on the streets outside the store over the last 285 days feels like another world from when they were employed in the historic high street store. ....
