Sixteen tourist information centres to stay closed until next March due to huge drop in footfall

The Tourist Information Centre on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork, will remain open but 16 others around the country will stay closed until next March. 

Sixteen of Fáilte Ireland’s Tourist Information Centres across the country will remain closed until March 2021, as footfall from tourists drops.

According to a spokesperson for Fáilte Ireland, domestic visitors only make up 10% of the footfall at their information centres. Due to this, and the fall in international tourism, only 10 centres will remain open.
