Martin Doherty opened his store a few weeks ago under the name ‘HVM’. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he soon received a letter from a similarly-named music retail company.
Protests at other HMV stores in Cork and Tallaght are also expected to end as the receiver has reportedly given written assurances that staff will be paid outstanding wages.
