Former Debenhams staff who have been occupying the retailer's Patrick Street premises in Cork since Tuesday will end their sit-in at 12.30pm. 

The workers plan to leave through the Maylor St entrance, before marching to the front of the store on Patrick St where they will hold an on-street press conference.
