Dunnes outlet shut in row over entrance

Mandate has condemned Dunnes Stores for using staff as pawns in a property dispute over a side entrance.

More than 100 workers have been affected by the sudden closure of the Dunnes outlet in Gorey, Co Wexford, on Thursday night.

Mandate said Dunnes was using the livelihoods of the workers as a protest against a court injunction granted on Thursday that demanded they close the side entrance to the business. Mandate general secretary John Douglas said the company’s behaviour was despicable and grossly irresponsible.
