Irish jobs safe amid franchise closures

The 350 jobs in Mothercare Ireland will not be impacted in anyway by Mothercare UK’s decision to close 111 branches in Britain.

Following a sharp decline in sales, Mothercare UK is embarking on a restructuring of the business that will result in job losses and store closures.

Mothercare Ireland is a separate and wholly owned Irish company. Mothercare Ireland is one of the original partners of the hugely successful Mothercare International Group, and currently the fifth-largest partner in the world.
