Clerys
Former department store and related shops in Dublin, Ireland
About
Clerys was a long-established department store on O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland, a focal point of the street.
The business dates from 1853, however the current building dates from 1922, the original having been completely destroyed in the 1916 Easter Rising. Clerys completed a five-year restoration programme in 2004 at a cost of €24 million but went into receivership in 2012, and was sold. Under American ownership, it abruptly closed in 2015, and issues arose with staff and franchise holders over an extended period afterwards.
