Debenhams 8 say further action planned for next week as they emerge from three-day sit-in at Patrick St branch
Former Debenahms workers say further action is planned next Wednesday to mark 161 days protesting.
It follows the fight of Vita Cortex workers who made history back in 2011 when their sit-in to secure redundancy payments at their former factory on the Kinsale Rd lasted 161 days .
Next Wednesday the former Debenhams workers will be protesting 161 days in their fight for a fair redundancy deal.
