Almost 400 former Target Express workers including up to ten staff from the Claregalway depot are still waiting for news on their P45s.The firm - one of Ireland's largest freight distribution businesses - ceased trading on Monday.

Target owner Seamus McBrien says Revenue froze the haulage company's bank accounts - after it rejected a plan to pay outstanding liabilities.

Today a gate seals off the closed depot at Lydican just off the N18 on the way to Carnmore.

A truck and some smaller vehicles are still on site, but locals say staff have not returned to the depot since Monday night.
