67 Wicklow Jobs Lost As Health Farm Closes
Over 60 jobs are set to go at one of Ireland's longest running health farms.
Wicklow's Powercourt Springs will close at the end of October.
Workers are expected to enter into consultation with management over the next number of weeks.
The announcement comes amid the sale of 42-acres at the Powerscourt estate, to an unnamed buyer.
It is understood the new owner will not be operating the site as a health farm.
The Enniskerry retreat opened its doors 12 years ago and underwent a substantial expansion in 2001.
Powercourt was one the first health spas of its kind in Ireland.
General Manager Susan Flood said: "I would like to thank our staff for their commitment in making Powerscourt Springs one of Ireland's most successful health farms.
"I would also like to thank our very loyal clients who supported us over the last 12 years."
Management has insisted the health farm will continue to operate normally until October 21.
Anyone who had paid deposits for bookings after this could bring forward their reservation or stay instead at the Brooklodge hotel and spa at Macreddin Village.
