Apple is reportedly on the hunt for a premises in Dublin for one of its iconic Apple Retail Stores.

According to the report, the shop will be run by Apple’s UK licensee and will be about 6,000 sq ft on two levels.

Apple is understood to be among a number of leading brands, including Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, Puma and Tous, which are looking at taking advantage of falling rental prices in Dublin to open new stores.
