Staff at Clerys in Dublin are refusing to rule out industrial action as the row over the closure of Guiney’s and a number of Clerys branches continues.

The Department store on O’Connell Street has been taken over by US investment company Gordon Brothers.
The group bought Clerys last month in a deal it said marked a ‘fresh start’ for the department store.
Receivers were appointed to the companies which operate the iconic shop on O’Connell Street in Dublin in mid-Spetember.
The investment firm also said that they would re-employ staff on their current terms and conditions.
But the remaining branches in Blanchardstown, Naas and Leopardstown along with Guineys on Talbot Street in Dublin are to close with the loss of 29 jobs.
Those 29 workers are protesting outside Clerys today.
They say they want to be re-deployed to O’Connell Street.
SIPTU organiser Graham Macken says Gordon Brothers have a moral obligation to look after the 29 workers even though they did not take over their branches.
