Another retail giant bites the dust.
There's been a disappointing development for our high streets, as fashion retailer New Look is ditching Ireland.
The company is pulling the plug on its operations here after "years of losses" and "tough market conditions."
The High Court's appointed provisional liquidators, leaving 347 staff in limbo across 26 stores - including Jervis and Omni here in Dublin.
Workers were told the news today, with a 30-day consultation to follow.
A spokesperson for New Look called it a "heartbreaking decision", blaming the collapse on supply chain issues, soaring costs, and cash-strapped shoppers.
A clearance sale will take place at New Look shops around the country on Sunday.
Irish customers will still be able to access New Look collections through retailers like ASOS and Very.
