A group of former Debenhams workers have protested outside the Dail in the hope of getting a new bill passed that will protect retail workers.
It comes after Dublin TD Mick Barry brought the Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021, also called the Debenhams Bill, to the Dail last year.
If passed the new legislation would allow retail workers to be preferential creditors in a liquidation so that they would be paid what they were owed as a priority.
