Workers yesterday voted to accept €3 million training fund & end 406 day dispute.

A former Debenhams, Newbridge, worker says staff will go down in history.

Debenhams announced the end of its Irish operations last April with the loss of around 1,200 jobs.

Workers across Ireland yesterday voted to accept the offer of a three million euro training fund.

In accepting the fund, they say it is not an adequate reward for the stuggle they waged for better redundancy terms over 406 days.
