Former Debenhams workers picketing in Cork have appealed to waste companies to be vigilant while emptying bins after two women on an early morning shift found a homeless man sleeping inside a green bin.

Claire O'Leary of Watergrasshill in Co Cork was on a socially distanced picket outside the Patrick Street store with a colleague when they made the discovery.
