Four La Senza Lingerie shops in NI are to close. Two in Belfast and one each in Ballymena and Derry. The company blamed tough trading conditions for the rationalisation which will see it shut 80 stores across the UK. The firm was placed into admininstration just before Christmas. Despite the closures and recent bad news for Barratts shoes and D2 clothes retailers, Belfast City Centre Manager Andrew Irvine says it's the outworking of a UK wide problem, not something specific to NI or Belfast.
