Pressure is mounting on Diageo to help find a solution to save the Smithwick's Experience in Kilkenny.
The announcement of its permanent closure last month shocked the community in Kilkenny, which is famous for it's links to brewing for hundreds of years.
An online petition has gathered almost 2,000 signatures in a matter of days and a number of key meetings are expected to be held over the coming days to help find a solution to save the much-loved tourist attraction in the heart of the city.
