HMV is set to make a return to the Irish market in July seven years after it shuttered its last remaining stores.

The company has announced that a new flagship store - the first outside of the UK in four years - will open on 18 Henry Street, Dublin in the middle of July. The last HMV stores in Ireland closed its doors in 2016.
