Retailer GameStop has confirmed the closure of its 35 Irish stores in a 'disappointing' announcement shared on the company's social media.

Once operating more than 50 stores nationwide, GameStop has steadily winded down its Irish operations over the past decade, announcing in March that it would be "ceasing the provision of a number of services across its Irish stores and website."
