Ye gods, the usual racism and xenophobia from the peanut gallery across the Atlantic.
Apple cared so much about Ireland that they had several licenses grandfathered in for the likes of CompuB, eLara and Mactivate as Apple Resellers. There's also Select Ireland chain which act as the premium reseller equivalent @ https://ie.selectonline.com/ https://ie.selectonline.com/
There's also an Apple store in Belfast fwiw.
- gsck 2y agoBut Belfast isn't in Ireland. Belfast is in Northern Ireland which is part of the UK, and a separate entity to the Republic Of Ireland. Saying that, the new Apple store in Belfast is nice, much bigger than its previous spot in Victoria Square

- piltdownman 2y agoFair, but its an hour commute from Dublin. For most of America, what's the average commute time to a Genius Bar from the suburbs? My general point is that it doesn't really discommode anyone in Ireland not having 'branded' Apple stores in the Republic.
