Christy moore to support Clerys workers with Liberty Hall concert

SINGER Christy Moore is supporting the Clerys workers by performing a concert tonight in Liberty Hall to highlight their fight for justice.

Clerys was bought by a consortium of property speculators, Natrium, on Friday, June 12. Following the purchase, Natrium immediately moved to liquidate the store’s operating company without discussions with the employees, including over 130 members of SIPTU, and without making plans for the payment of their outstanding wages or redundancy entitlements.

Since then, the workers have been campaigning for justice and demanding a meeting with the store’s new owners to discuss the purchase and its consequences.

Among those attending tonight’s sold-out concert will be the Lord Mayor of Dublin Críona Ní Dhálaigh.

She said: “This is a fight about making Dublin a city that works for the people that live in it and not just those who seek to take a profit out of it.”
