Nursing home workers stage sit-in protest in demand for compo

UP to 20 former workers at one of the country’s largest private nursing homes have occupied the building and say they’ll stay there until they are compensated by its directors.

Springvalley Nursing Home in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, closed its doors on August 8 with the loss of more than 30 jobs.

Staff were paid statutory redundancy and its 38 patients were moved to other homes in the region.
