Kiely’s creditors are told their cash is protected
CREDITORS of collapsed electrical goods retailer Kiely’s have been reassured that their cash is safe.
Anxious creditors, including employees, customers and electrical company representatives, spilled out of the conference room and in to the corridor at a packed meeting with the liquidators in the Killarney Court hotel on Monday.
Joint liquidators Marcus Treacy of O’Connor Kelliher and Treacy, Killarney, and Tom Kavanagh of Kavanagh Fennell, Dublin, have been appointed.
Their priority will be to try to sell the business as a going concern and to realise the assets of the company.
The meeting also appointed a committee of five inspectors.
Mr Kiely confirmed that all funds sent to the company in advance by customers for goods ordered were deposited in a special bank account to protect the customer funds.
