A sit-in is continuing at the Co Offaly nursing home that announced it was to close last week.
Over 50 staff, including nurses, have refused to vacate Tullybeg Retirement Village at Rahan, just outside Tullamore until they receive back pay they say they are due.
Some members of staff were paid a portion of their outstanding wages on Friday last. Others didn't get any back pay and the group have vowed to sit- in until all the money is paid.
Staff member Ms Maura Healion said they had received a communication from a director of the company outlining that the wages would be paid once money came into the business.
Directors of the home cited financial reasons for their closure last week and asked the Health Service Executive to transfer the 36 elderly patients to alternative nursing home accommodation in the area.
In February gardaí raided the home as part of an investigation into money laundering.
One of the directors, Ted Cunningham, and his partner Cathy Armstrong were arrested in Cork as part of the investigation.
