Former Debenhams workers in Tralee continue to protest stock removal

The peaceful protest comes one week after the majority of former Debenhams staff voted in favour of accepting the offer of a €3 million training fund.

As trucks arrived to remove stock from a closed-down Debenhams store in Kerry last night, 32 people turned out to protest.

A four-hour standoff ensued outside the Tralee outlet, as the group blocked the access road preventing the trucks from leaving.
