250 brewing jobs to be axed
Half of the historic brewing home of Guinness is to be sold and 250 brewing jobs axed under plans unveiled by drinks giant Diageo.
But the group pledged to keep Dublin's famous St James's Gate brewing site open to protect the "heritage" of the Guinness brand and will spend part of a 656 million euro investment in renovating the brewery.
Diageo said it will instead close two smaller breweries at Kilkenny and Dundalk, at the cost of more than half of the 450 brewing staff employed in the country.
