The director of Dundrum Town Centre in Dublin has said a number of retailers at the centre may not be able to operate full opening hours when they reopen due to a shortage of staff.
Speaking on RTÉ's Brendan O’Connor programme, Don Nugent said the pressure was on for retailers to recruit staff during what he said was "a very short window".
He said, however, that he was optimistic the jobs would be filled in good time, but said there would be "a few weeks of unsettlement". "Yesterday, we had 6,000 people look at our website on the jobs page specifically, so it is really being taken up, and so while there’s a lot of pressure on, the jobs are being filled quite quick," he said.
