Blessington Community Fear Closure Of Local Tourist Office

Local campaigners are calling on Tourism Minister Shane Ross to prevent the closure of the Tourist Office in Blessington.

Last week the Central Bank instructed the District Credit Union to take back all their units, which has been running the office in tandem with Blessington Community Employment at their Enterprise Centre.

The office will close in the coming months after 20 years in operation if an alternative office cannot be found.

Plans had recently been granted for a new office facelift and training of staff in new marketing and promotion techniques.
