Couriers in limbo after Fastway receivership
Couriers and staff at Fastway Couriers in Ireland are in limbo following the company’s entry into receivership. Workers protested outside the depot at Greenogue, Co Dublin, having been told they are still working for the company for 30 days under receivership, but won’t be paid until the New Year - and will not be able to claim social welfare in the meantime. 

Franchise-holders and subcontractors also say they have been left in the dark. The collapse comes ahead of the busy Christmas period, raising fears for thousands of parcels in transit and the viability of small businesses relying on timely delivery.
