Former Debenhams staff say they will not allow stock leave the stores until they're paid what they're owed.

The workers say the company in the UK wants to take the clothes it hadn't sold in Ireland, and move it to shops in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

They say they are frustrated by the lack of action by politicians in stopping what they call a massacre in the retail sector.

Shop steward at the Henry Street store is Jane Crowe - she says they are willing to keep going.

"The stock will remain in the stores until we get better answers for what we're looking for.

"They're still telling us that they expect the taxpayer to pay us statutory redundancy.

"There's a lot of us there with a lot of service - ten, twenty, thirty years of service."
