Workers at Dunnes Stores in Gorey, Co Wexford have been informally told the branch will reopen to the public on Wednesday.
It comes as a two-month stay has been placed on a High Court injunction linked to its closure last week.
Dunnes Stores closed the branch at Gorey Shopping Centre last Thursday after the High Court granted an injunction preventing the company from continuing to use a door that opened directly on to the centre’s carpark.
It is understood that following Tuesday’s application to the High Court, Dunnes Stores in Gorey is to reopen to the public.
The injunction was obtained by Paul McCann of Grant Thornton, who was appointed by AIB as receiver to run the centre.
Mr Justice Brian McGovern granted the injunction preventing Dunnes Stores from using the door that directly opened onto the carpark as an entrance to the store. It was also ordered that the only entrance that could be used was the main entrance to the shopping centre.
Lawyers for the receiver argued the use of the door was a breach of Dunnes’ lease obligations and the net effect was that customers could bypass smaller traders in the shopping centre. Dunnes Stores had opposed the application, and urged the court not to grant the injunction.
On Tuesday at the High Court, Mr Justice Donald Binchey was informed that both sides were consenting to the injunction being stayed for a period of two months. This the court heard was to allow the two sides, and other stakeholders, engage with each other.
The Judge agreed to place the stay on the injunction until July 24th.
Approximately 100 people are employed by Dunnes Stores at the Co Wexford store. The closure of the store to the public had been criticised by trade Union Mandate which represents the workers.
