Carphone Warehouse has closed in Ireland with a loss of around 400 jobs.
Around 80 Carphone Warehouse stores have closed immediately, while some staff will be kept on by the company over the next couple of days for operational reasons.
It has stores in both Cavan and Monaghan towns.
The business say it expected a change in consumer habits with people buying phones less frequently - however it expected it to occur over a long period of time with the change attributed to the pandemic.
The firm's parent company says they'll also continue selling phones and accessories through Currys PC World.
However, there are no Currys PC World outlets in the Northern Sound region.
Carphone Warehouse had closed its stores in the UK last year.
