Dunnes Stores closure raises fears for local businesses on major Cork city street

A major shopping street in the centre of Cork city has suffered a major blow after Dunnes Stores announced they are to close their store on North Main Street by the end of the month, writes Kelly O’Brien of the Evening Echo.

There are fears that other businesses on the street will now suffer from reduced footfall, and the Cork Business Association has called for the fast-tracking of a “revitalisation plan” for North Main Street.
