Former Debenhams staff and their supporters have rallied at Henry Street in Dublin calling for support in a national protest to back their call for a better redundancy package.
The workers have held round-the-clock pickets for the last 121 days to prevent stock being removed from some of the stores.
They were laid off in April, receiving only the minimum redundancy payment allowed by law -- with the taxpayer picking up the bill.
Representatives from Waterford store travelled to today's event, Michelle Gavin told WLR News that recommendations issued after Clery's closed should have been implemented.
"If we could get the Duffy-Cahill report signed into legislation that no other worker would end up in the situation that we're in. After Clery's we shouldn't have ended up in this situation so we're hoping that even if we could get that signed in that would be something."
Michelle Gavin says they have received great support from the public.
"When people are passing they come over to you and they talk to you about it and they're hoping that we will get a solution soon.
She added that their picket is to the back of City Square because that's where the loading bay is but that people "toot their horns at us, they all say well done and fair play for fighting for what you believe in."
Michelle Gavin says talks are taking place between the union, government and liquidator. She says nothing has been moved out of the Waterford store.
"All the stock is still in there, nothing has been moved. A couple of the concessions did pass the picket and went in to just pack up their stuff but, nothing has been moved out of the store.
"I think the liquidator did give some assurances that he would hold off until the talks concluded so hopefully he will keep to his word."
