Carlow Nationalist — Close to 300 Vincent de Paul staff laid off amid Covid restrictions

Close to 300 Vincent de Paul staff laid off amid Covid restrictions Thursday, March 11, 2021 Close to 300 staff at the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) have been temporarily laid off amid Covid-19 restrictions. The Irish Examiner reports that the charity has said the move is “not a cost-saving measure” but the result of continued Level 5 restrictions shuttering its stores. SVP said shop closures and a total collapse in church gate receipts have decimated its income, with 277 shop staff and further 10 staff who work in specialist and support services affected by the lay-offs. SVP national president Rose McGowan said introducing the temporary lay-offs was an “extremely difficult decision”.
