H&M has refused to comment on how the closure of 170 stores worldwide will impact on their Irish stores
The closures are expected to affect shops across H&M Group’s seven brands, which include COS, Monki, and Weekday.
However, to offset the loss of certain stores, a further 130 stores are expected to open globally
H&M operates 16 stores in Ireland, one of which is on Opera Lane in the city centre.
