“It’s important that we now begin working to secure the future of the store here in Derry for the staff employed here and those who use the store.

“There are a large number of staff employed at the Foyleside store and this announcement will obviously be causing concern so it’s important that we get full clarity from Debenhams.

“Thousands of people from across the Derry, Donegal and Tyrone use this store every week as a key part of our city centre.

“It’s vital that Foyleside also play a part in securing its future.”
