Debenhams workers in Cork have initially been told by gardaí they can continue their sit-in at the Patrick St store in Cork, despite their counterparts in Dublin being arrested.

Workers in Cork applauded gardaí as they left the scene of the sit-in, which saw them discuss the move with the workers inside the building, and leave without incident.
