Fastway couriers went into receivership last month.
Franchise workers across the Midlands are being left thousands of euro out of pocket after the closure of Fastway.

He wants the government to step in to ensure workers like him are compensated in some way.
The Offaly man says as far as he knows, there's no prospect of ever getting that money back:
