HMV Ireland Remain Closed Despite UK Move
HMV Ireland stores will remain closed and vouchers will not be accepted or honoured.
This is despite a change in the UK where shops remain open and administrators have said gift vouchers will be accepted from tomorrow.
Deloitte UK said that after assessing HMV's books, vouchers will now be honoured.
However, in Ireland, HMV is in receivership, and a spokesperson said the shops remain closed and are not accepting vouchers.
Sit-ins at several HMV shops around the country ended on Saturday after the receivers promised they would pay staff wages.
It is understood that HMV's Irish employees have been put on temporary lay-off pending a future decision by the receivers.
