The Government is being urged to act in order to protect workers at 70 Dealz stores across Ireland.

It comes as The Journal have reported that Poundland in the UK, owned by the same parent company, is facing potential administration.

It follows the recent decision by its owner, Gordon Brothers, to put the business up for sale.

There are currently four Dealz stores in Kildare : Naas, Newbridge, Kildare Town and Athy.

In a statement to Kfm News, Independent Ireland spokesperson on Finance and Enterprise, Michael Sheehan says the Government has remained "conspicuously silent" on the implications this could have for workers.

He also references the estimated 3,500 jobs at risk if Dealz Ireland was to cease operations, and that "serious questions must be answered about the future of its Irish operation".

"These are 3,500 people with families, mortgages and financial commitments, many of whom have given years of loyal service to a business that has been a significant part of the Irish retail landscape," he concluded.
