The Irish business of sports retail giant Decathlon has plans to open two more stores here "and expand in Limerick, Cork or Galway as a priority in the coming years".

That is according to a directors' report in new accounts which show that revenues at Decathlon Sports Ireland Ltd declined by 7% from €17.8m to €16.58m last year.
