Irish firm awaits €100,000 of stock tied-up in depots

06/09/2012
An Irish footwear company is rushing orders as it awaits news on EUR 100,000 worth of stock tied-up in depots after its haulage firm went into administration.

Dubarry has about 50 stores in Ireland and the UK, and said the timing is particularly damaging as its ‘back to school’ rush is normally one of its most profitable periods.

Its managing director told The Irish Independent that it was going to have to repeat the delivery to its stockists.

"Business is very hard to come by these days and they wouldn't thank us if we didn't do everything we could to get products to them," he said.

It is unclear when the original stock will be released, or how many other suppliers are affected.
