Speaking to RedFM News Taoiseach Micheál Martin says it's disappointing to see the stores closing
"Obviously, when a retail outlet like that closes, it's very difficult for the workers in the first instance. and we want people who come into Ireland to have a good experience here. It's a very competitive market, the retail clothing market so I was disappointed to hear it, but we will do everything we can to support the workers"
