They’ve fought long and hard for this.
A financial settlement for former Clerys workers has been announced, two years after they lost their jobs.
Some 460 staff, which included employees of Clerys as well as those employed by concession holders, were left without work after the landmark store closed its doors in 2015, It was bought out by Natrium, for €29 million.
The details will remain confidential but a “goodwill payment” to former workers was annouced at the Mansion house in Dublin earlier today.
They will also be given a “process to recognise” their services when it comes to employment in the new development.
Speaking to the Irish Times after the announcement Natrium Director, Deirdre Foley, said she was delighted to end the long-running dispute, and she looks forward to developing a working relationship with people in the community.
