The business woman at the centre of the controversial closure of iconic Dublin store, Clery’s, last year made €350,000 in a property deal with her own firm.

The announcement of grandiose plans to redevelop Clerys department store in Dublin strikes like a trespass on public patience while the former Clerys’ employees flounder in frustration, anger and bewilderment for some semblance of dignity, validation and due process.

After listening to Enda Kenny’s profound words about how the staff at Clery’s department store had been treated, it made me wish that he had been Taoiseach since 2011, with the largest majority in the history of the State.

A MULTI-MILLION euro bidding war to take over Dublin store Clery & Company is expected in the coming months.

TWO of the country's largest retailers have reported mixed results for the past year.
