Sacked Debenhams staff will protest today outside Bank of Ireland branches across Ireland.
The workers were told Debenhams Retail Ireland – of which the bank is a part owner – was going into liquidation on April 9.
Shop stewards Jane Crowe and Valerie Conlon said in a statement yesterday: “Bank of Ireland made €758million profits last year – without having to pay any corporation tax.
“BoI admits it has at least a 5% ownership of Debenhams, the parent company that sacked us.
“BoI played a part in liquidating this company.
“It has a choice – invest to save our jobs to get us through this pandemic or pay us the redundancy packages we deserve.”
