Too early to tell if Irish shops will be hit by shoe chain Clarks' 900 job cuts plan

It is too early to know if the Irish operations of British shoe retailer Clarks will be affected by its plan to cut 900 jobs from its global workforce as part of a restructuring programme which will see it increasingly focus on online sales.
Clarks has 13 stores in the Republic and four in the North, all of which have been temporarily closed due to the Covid-19 restrictions. In total, Clarks has 1,400 shops across 75 countries.
