Town to fight brewery loss
The brewery produces Harp, Smithwicks, Carlsberg and Satzenbrau, and is the second-largest brewery in the Diageo group in Ireland.
The shock announcement that it was closing as part of a rationalisation plan by the group, which will also see it locate a state-of-the-art €650m brewing operation near Dublin, left workers speechless. Staff gathered yesterday morning for a meeting where the company outlined its planned brewing operation near Dublin and the subsequent closure of the Dundalk site.
