More than 70 jobs are to be lost with the closure of five branches of music, DVD and games retailer Zavvi across Ireland.
Zavvi closed its branch in Blanchardstown this morning with the loss of 13 jobs and it is to close a further four branches in Northern Ireland with the loss of 60 jobs.
They are among more than 350 job losses announced by administrators Ernst & Young.
Last week 22 closed with 178 job losses.
This evening Ernst & Young announced that another five of Zavvi's 11 stores in the Republic would be sold to rival music group HMV.
The stores are part of a deal to sell 14 stores, including nine in the UK, to HMV.
The 110 workers at the stores in Dundalk, Dundrum, Liffey Valley, Limerick and Newbridge will transfer to HMV immediately.
Ernst & Young said the other five stores in the Republic were continuing to trade, and talks on their sale were continuing with a number of interested parties.
Tom Jack, joint administrator of Zavvi UK, said he was optimistic this could lead to the retention of jobs at the other outlets.
The outlets closing in Northern Ireland are Castlecourt in Belfast with the loss of 22 jobs, Derry with the loss of 15 and Newry and Newtownabbey with the loss of 11 each.
The most recently opened branch, at Victoria Square shopping centre in Belfast, where 21 people are employed, is among the 74 stores across the UK remaining open.
Zavvi, the former Virgin Megastore, fell into administration on Christmas Eve after it was crippled when its main supplier, Woolworths' Entertainment UK wholesaling division collapsed.
