Claire's Accessories, the fashion accessories retailer, is seeking a further 15 retail outlets in Ireland. The company opened its first Irish shops last year, with three outlets in Tallaght, Killarney and Blackpool, and earlier this year opened a store in Patrick Street, Cork. A further two shops are due to open shortly in The Pavilions in Swords and the Crescent Shopping Centre, Limerick.

"Claire's Accessories are looking for a further 15 locations throughout Ireland this year," says Lisa McGrane of Jones Lang LaSalle. "We are seeking units of between 400 sq ft and 800 sq ft in busy high street locations and shopping centres."

Claire's Accessories is a wholly owned subsidiary of the American multinational, Claire's Stores Inc, with more than 3,000 outlets in the US, Canada, the UK, Continental Europe and Japan.
