Muckross Traditional Farms in Killarney to shut down indefinitely in September

Muckross House, Killarney, Co. Kerry.

One of the southwest’s major tourist attractions, Muckross Traditional Farms, in the heart of the Killarney National Park, is to shut down indefinitely in September, and will operate on a very limited basis for the next two months, staff have been told.

Meetings are taking place to inform around 25 part-time and 12 full-time employees at the folk park and farm complex that some redundancies are to be expected.
