Miss Delaney says she is overjoyed and will go back and work with Dunnes - despite what has happened.
“I have from the start said that I wanted to go back, that was my main objective for all this campaign…to get my job back”, said Mis s Delaney.
“I felt, and I still feel, that I did nothing wrong”, she said.
“I have until 5pm tomorrow evening (Sunday) to let them know my answer and my answer is obviously ‘yes’”, she added.
