Homesavers reopen pending full planning hearing

Homesavers reopen pending full planning hearing

Homesavers stores in Dungarvan and Waterford have reopened this morning following the lifting of an interim planning injunction at the High Court yesterday.

The stores were closed last Friday after Waterford Council took a case over claims the stores were operating without proper planning permission.

Homesavers have premises operating on the Cork Road in the City and Westgate Business Park, Dungarvan. A third outlet in the Riverstown Business Park, Tramore was preparing to open.

Workers in Dungarvan protested against the closure this week saying more than 100 workers had been 'left in limbo' with regard to their employment situation.

Centz Retail Holdings Ltd, trading as Homesavers, challenged the interim injunction and were successful in an application to have it lifted yesterday.

In a statement, Waterford City and County Council said the case to seek a Section 60 Planning Injunction will be before the High Court on 7th December for a full hearing.
