Brexit will mean 300,000 fewer British tourists in Ireland next year, says Failte Ireland

Brexit will have resulted in 300,000 fewer UK holidaymakers visiting Ireland in 2018, compared with the previous 12 months, it has been warned.

Tourism body Failte Ireland said this could have resulted in €88m in lost revenue and 1,900 lost tourism jobs had there not been a strong performance in other markets, particularly the US.
