Why no Apple Store in Ireland?

[samduffy]

Does anyone know if Apple Plan to set up a store in Ireland. Its sad that we dont have any official Apple Stores, we have stores that sell their products but they are only Premium Resellers and to be honest the staff are not very knowledgeable about apple in these stores. Apple do however have one in Northern Ireland which is a border with the UK so the only store on the island is up north and quite far away from the Capital Dublin. Does anyone know why Apple gives Ireland very little priority and if they intend to open a store here. We do have their EU HQ in Cork but thats it and they are building a Data Centre in Galway but no Apple Store. WHY TIM WHY ?

Any Help is appreciated

Who knows why? BUT I did find this somewhat promising article from Appleinsider on the internet....

Apple could take over Dublin location for first Irish Apple Store
