Staff still without pay after closure of 4 newspapers

STAFF at four newspapers that closed down without warning last Friday have still not been paid even though they were promised payment yesterday.

The now ex-workers at Voice Newspapers in Cavan, Monaghan, Kildare and Tipperary, knew nothing of the pending closures until senior management arrived at the offices.

One of the papers’ main investors is millionaire charity organiser Niall Mellon.
