Religious retailer Veritas to close as business prospects unlikely to improve

Retailer employs 80 people across seven outlets, its HQ and distribution warehouse

Veritas was founded in 1899 by the Catholic Truth Society of Ireland as a means to publish and distribute religious materials.

Religious publisher and retailer Veritas has announced it intends to wind down the business following a review that determined it could not mitigate the challenges it faces or improve its commercial prospects.

It is headquartered on Abbey Street in Dublin and employs more than 80 people across publishing, education and its seven retail outlets.
