Deputy Mairead Farrell claimed they were first abandoned by their employers, and then they were failed by the state. 140 jobs were lost in Galway when Debenhams closed in April 2020, with over one thousand people nationwide let go after the company began the process to enter liquidation. Workers have been campaigning since then – they argue that a former redundancy agreement has not been honoured and theyâve only been offered statutory minimum entitlements. ....

Debenhams Bill to be tabled by Cork TD A bill aimed at improving the rights of workers when the company they work for goes into liquidation will be debated and voted on in the Dail today. The so-called Debenhams bill is being tabled by Cork TD Mick Barry and aims to put employees at the front of the queue when it comes to payouts from a liquidator and to make unpaid collective agreements a debt in the eyes of the law. Debenhams workers have been picketing stores since they were laid off on April 9th, last year.
