Serious Concerns Raised After Toys R Us Enters Administration
The SDLP has raised serious concerns following the announcement that over 100 jobs are at risk in Northern Ireland after Toys R Us entered administration.
Daniel McCrossan MLA and Mark H Durkan met with staff in L'Derry on Wednesday to advise them on what to do next.
Mr McCrossan said: "The news that Toys R Us has gone into administration is another blow to our local economy, with four stores across the North in Derry, Belfast, Lisburn and Newtownabbey.
"I have also written to Graham Harris the company's chief executive to ensure that all is being done to protect staff and their rights during the administration process."
In total around 5,700 jobs are at risk across the UK.
The firm is still seeking a buyer.
