Pamela Scott is to close 12 of its 24 stores, resulting in the possible loss of 104 jobs, in a move to secure the future of the Irish fashion chain.
The company said the closures are in response to changes in retail trading, largely as a result of Covid-19. It is applying to the High Court today to have Eamonn Richardson, a partner in restructuring at KPMG Ireland, and Ian Barrett, a director in KPMG, appointed as joint provisional liquidators.
The Pamela Scott shops being closed are Grafton Street, Frascati Centre, Swords and Blanchardstown in Dublin and Cork City, Limerick Crescent, Tralee, Carlow, Sligo, Dundalk, Gorey and Nenagh.
