The ex-Debenhams workers have shown how workers can fight back. They’ve sustained what might actually be the longest multi-location strike in Irish trade union history. They ran the strike, start to finish. They manned pickets, put bodies on the line, and inspired thousands. 1/

[Paul Murphy 🇵🇸 @paulmurphy_TD]

Despite Willie O'Dea CC'ing the entire Dail in an email to a Debenhams worker to say he had no problem with #DebenhamsBill, he joined with rest of them to kick it down the road for 12 months.

In a way the behaviour of the FF TDs who pretended to support the workers is the worst.

All workers redundancies will be different amounts.. the fact is there agreements need to be upheld and be top of the creditor list

My party will put a Bill next Wed to protect workers in liquidations. No more Debenhams, Clerys, Arcadia.

All those who have never watched Line of Duty before... #LineOfDuty

[Anita Fitzsimons @FitzsimonsAnita]

@AAunited Seriously have some empathy for workers who were rightly screwed over and are worried about being unemployed with Bill's to pay .. furthermore u should be boycotting Debenhams cause if they can get away with it others will follow

@FineGael @AlanFarrell @LeoVaradkar @SimonHarrisTD @HHumphreysFG Are you having a laugh, its Mayday International Workers Day not April fools. Your party needs to take a long hard look at yourselves. Yous wouldnt know the struggles of good ordinary workers if it came up and slapped u in the face #DebenhamsStrikers @DebenhamsStaff @pb4p

[Patrick Doherty @Padjod]

Watching #reelingintheyears 2012 and the industrial disputes of Vita cortex, La Senza & Lagan brick it shows that nothing has changed unfortunately

And as long as @fiannafailparty & @FineGael I don't think it ever will, a change is long overdue

[Jane Crowe @janecrowe314]

To all our supporters last night THANK YOU
#DontLiquidateWorkersRights

[Mick Caul @caulmick]

11 bells and still no mention of the #Debenhams strikers being forcibly removed from the pickets on @RTERadio1 news - I guarantee you those long serving workers paid their licence fee every year. Where is @rtenews when they need them ? #Todaycb

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

On Parnell street. Hundreds of gardai acting in collusion with KPMG trying to break the year long #debenhams strike in the middle of the night. Come down to support if you’re around. This is a fight for all workers. ⁦@pb4p⁩ ⁦@morningireland⁩ ⁦@NTBreakfast⁩

[Paul Murphy 🇵🇸 @paulmurphy_TD]

Waking up to see all the stories of Gardai forcibly removing Debenhams workers and helping KPMG break their protest by removing stock in the middle of the night in Henry Street.

Shame on them, KPMG and Debenhams.

Solidarity with the workers.

[Cllr. John Burtchaell- Solidarity @BurtchaellJohn]

No Jerusalema dancing this morning then? The Gardai do not stand with other workers. Ultimately the police represent big business whose interests have been codified into law by our political establishment
#Debenhams

[Socialist Alternative - England, Wales & Scotland @SocialistAltEWS]

Shameful police action against peaceful @DebenhamsStaff @19Workers - who for 378 days have just wanted justice & a fair redundancy🚩

The police should be arresting those at @Debenhams @KPMG_Ireland

Solidarity from Socialist Alternative across England, Wales and Scotland. ✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿

[Cllr Conor Reddy 🇵🇸 @ConorReddy95]

Where are @irishcongress?!!

Absent throughout the Debenhams strike, they better step up to the plate now.

[Tralee Debenhams Picket-line @LineTralee]

These are the scenes in Dublin tonight at the Henry Street picketline. Gardai and public order unit out in extreme numbers to assist with non essential strike breaking action during level 5.
@MichealMartinTD grow some balls and stop the abuse of working-class Wire.
@MickBarryTD

[Ruth Coppinger @RuthCoppingerSP]

Gardai have just pushed out my colleague Michael O'Brien who is doing a live video for the #Debenhams workers page.
Nothing criminal in what he is doing. Don't want their activities recorded #StrikingIsNotACrime
