The Clerys building on Dublin's O'Connell Street has been vacant for nearly a year, and now tech giant Apple are set to take over. 

According to The Irish Times, Natrium, the organisation that purchased the store for €29m, is trying to lease it out to the iPhone makers.

Apple has no official store in Ireland yet, and reports are suggesting that negotiations between the two businesses have been ongoing for several months.

Clerys' closure saw the loss of nearly 500 jobs and sparked numerous protests from employees last year. No matter what though, that beautiful building will always be Clerys to us.
