Crystal workers stage protest at receiver’s firm

A GROUP of Waterford Crystal workers staged a protest at the Dublin offices of accountancy firm Deloitte for two hours yesterday to highlight their anger at the actions of Deloitte partner David Carson in his role as receiver of the troubled glassware firm.

About 14 past and present employees demanded payments worth an estimated €5 million owed to workers at the plant.

Mr Carson closed the Kilbarry plant last Friday resulting in a sit-in protest at the factory, which is now entering its sixth day.
