SPECULATION grew yesterday that Dunnes Stores may be taken over by British retail giant Asda.

Mandate trade union representing the workers in the retail sector, said “it has been inundated with inquiries from worried Dunnes Stores’ employees who are concerned by reports that the company may be sold in the near future”.

“It has been reported that a meeting of all store managers in Dunnes has been arranged with a view to making a significant announcement on November 6,” the union said.
