High Court okays Galway and Liffey Valley Atlantic Homecare stores to stay open

SIPTU has welcomed the decision by the High Court to keep open two Atlantic Homecare stores which had been marked for closure.

The firm went into administration last month with the closure of five of its 13 outlets.

However, today the High Court announced that the Atlantic Homecare stores in Galway and the Liffey Valley Centre in Dublin would remain open under a decision by the examiner appointed to oversee the administration of the DIY company.

The move means 40 jobs will be saved.
