The owner of a Dublin bakery has called on the government to provide more supports for small businesses as she prepares to close down.
Ciara Lennon is the owner of Bear Lemon, a plant-based bakery on Drumcondra Road Lower. The small bakery first opened its doors in 2020 and quickly impressed locals with its wide range of vegan and gluten friendly treats.
However, news emerged on social media last week that the bakery would shut down in April. Ciara said she was forced to increase prices by 60 or 70 cents for certain items, which majorly influenced her decision to shut.
