Meanwhile, Waltons Music is to open a 7,500sq ft superstore in the Blanchardstown Centre, creating about 10 jobs. The store, to open on August 24th, will replace the outlet on Frederick Street in the city centre. It will carry a much larger range of products.

The Waltons shop on South Great George's Street was the setting of the movie Once's most famous scene where Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova sing their Oscar-winning song Falling Slowly together. This store will remain open.
