Irish Examiner - 02.07.2020

The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is to lay off staff when it reopens as the popular tourist attraction prepares for a drop in visitor numbers. Closed since March, the Guinness Storehouse is set to reopen for business this month. The company said: “The Guinness Storehouse is currently working on preparations for reopening in July, having been closed since early March. The tourism sector is expecting significantly reduced international visitor numbers for an extended period of time in Ireland, and the Guinness Storehouse must plan for its reopening on that basis.”
