Game’s 14 Irish stores to close with loss of 125 jobs
Administrators PriceWaterhouseCoopers said 277 stores across Britain and Ireland will close this week with the loss of 2,104 jobs. The remaining 333 stores in the two jurisdictions, which employ 2,814 staff, will continue to trade while attempts are made to find a buyer for the remainder of the business.
The 14 Irish stores are among those to be closed. All Irish-based staff who lose their jobs from Friday will have to apply to the state for statutory redundancy. Some are considering a sit-in in pursuit of their entitlements.
