HMV’s 16 Irish stores are to close, with the loss of 300 jobs.
The news comes after the music chain’s receiver in Ireland issued a statement today, confirming that the shops – which had been temporarily closed – will not reopen.

Deloitte says the stores had been closed by HMV prior to receivership, at which point the 300 staff were placed on temporary lay-off – they will now be made redundant.
The news is not unexpected, but will be greeted by disappointment by workers who had hoped a buyer could be found.
The receiver says all of the stores were loss making and it was not possible to attract a purchaser.
