Roscommon People: Covid-19 Update

Due to the Covid-19 health crisis, and in the interests of the safety of our staff and customers, the Roscommon People office in Abbey Street will be closing temporarily, with effect from 6 pm this evening, Friday March 20.

The Roscommon People will continue to publish our print and online editions. We thank our loyal advertisers and readers for your continued support in this extraordinarily challenging environment.

Unfortunately, due to the catastrophic economic fall-out from Covid-19, we have had to implement a number of cutbacks, pending this crisis passing.

We are confirming that a number of staff have been temporarily laid off. Thank you to our great team for their understanding and support and we look forward to working alongside them again in the very near future.

To our readers and advertisers, we say thank you for your wonderful support. It is a challenging times for all SMEs, including the local media. We look forward to your continued support in the weeks, months and years ahead, and we appeal to our readers to continue to support all local businesses.

Of paramount importance at this time is people’s health. Please follow all HSE guidelines and engage in social distancing.

Stay safe and take care.
