The Labour Court recommended an enhanced redundancy package for 15 workers after Laura Ashley plc closed its Grafton Street, Dublin store. The recommendation was signed on 5 April 2011. The workers, represented by Mandate, sought five weeks’ pay per year of service, including statutory entitlements. Candida Holness and Laura Ashley plc said they could not offer more than statutory payments, citing financial losses and efforts to reduce the impact of redundancies through transfers and new roles. The Court recommended two weeks’ pay per year of service on top of statutory entitlements, describing the recommendation as exceptional and without precedent.
