WORKERS PROTEST OUTSIDE CLERYS [BLOOMSDAY]-105572
Two events of interest in Dublin today. [1] Clerys workers protest against the sudden loss of jobs when the oldest department store in Dublin closed. [2] A large number of people celebrate Bloomsday.
Clerys was a long-established department store on O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland, a focal point of the street.
The business dates from 1853, however the current building dates from 1922, having been completely destroyed in the 1916 Easter Rising. Clerys completed a five-year restoration programme in 2004 at a cost of €24 million.
Kieran Wallace and Eamonn Richardson were appointed joint provisional liquidators to OSC Operations Limited (the “Company”) trading as Clerys, on 12 June 2015. The company ceased to trade with immediate effect. Staff were given 30 minutes notice to pack up and leave - some had worked there for over 40 years.
