Staff at Coolock store end occupation after reaching agreement with interim examiner regarding redundancy payments if jobs are lost
Independent Workers Union representative Alex Homits said the staff had left the premises on Wednesday evening after reaching an agreement with the interim examiner regarding redundancy payments, in the event it is confirmed their jobs are to be lost, and receiving commitments in relation to other monies the workers are owed.
Assurances were provided by representatives of the owners, Metron Stores Ltd, which had taken over the brand’s chain of 26 shops in the Republic of Ireland from its British parent earlier this year, that the issues would be addressed. The FSAI has confirmed a closure order was served on the branch due to immediate danger to the public.Iceland store in Coolock where three staff members were staging a sit-in after the store closed abruptly.

“We’re here now and we still have no idea what’s going on. The company was up in court yesterday [when an interim examiner was appointed] and we weren’t informed of that either. We’ve been told nothing.” Friends and family members hand in food to the three staff members of the Iceland store in Coolock, who are staging the sit-in. Photograph: Alan Betson
