Former Debenhams workers have ended their pickets outside stores today after a settlement package was accepted.

A majority of ex-staff have voted in favour of a €3m training fund which will allow them to re-skill or set up a business.

For over 400 days, they have held protests against the stores decision not to pay redundancy after shutting its Irish operations last year.

Last year around 1,000 people lost their jobs when Debenhams closed its Irish stores.

Former workers will be able to avail of around €3,000 each.

319 workers voted in favour of the measure, with 102 against the move.
