On September 29 last, two employees of the Now clothes shop on Clonmel’s Gladstone St turned up to open the premises.

When they arrived they found the locks had been broken and two individuals from a security firm were inside. They told the employees that they were there legally, having been dispatched by a receiver for the business. The employee immediately rang the owner of the shop, Tony Kenny.
