The Dublin Writers Museum has permanently closed over concerns the landmark does not cater for modern visitors, Fáilte Ireland has said.
The Parnell Square institution never reopened following its closure in March 2020 during the first lockdown. Staffing concerns for the museum also acted as a barrier to a potential reopening- two staff have retired since 2020 while another two were redeployed into other sectors of Fáilte Ireland.
The Irish Independent recently revealed that an assessment of the museum had been approved by Fáilte Ireland in July 2020. The review concluded that the Irish Writers Museum was no longer considered relevant for modern tourists.
