CLAREGALWAY TARGET WORKERS FACE DELAY IN REDUNDANCY PAYMENTS
Date Published: 30-Aug-2012
It could be up to six months before former employees of Target Express in Claregalway get any wages owed or redundancy payments.
That's according to Grant Thornton, the liquidators appointed to the haulage company, who met with ten staff from the depot in Athlone this morning.
Target Express ceased trading on Monday evening with the loss of 400 jobs nationwide.
This afternoon staff are continuing sit-ins at plants including Carlow, Cork and Wexford.
Around ten staff were based at the depot in Claregalway at Lydican just off the Claregalway to Oranmore road.
Aengus Burns of the Galway branch of Grant Thornton travelled to Athlone to brief around 30 staff from sites including Claregalway, Castlebar and Ballydangon.
He says that workers are facing a 4 to 6 month wait for payments of monies owed.
