A Kerry restaurant owner broke down in tears as she shared her heartbreak with RTE's Claire Byrne over the closure of the family-run business.
Joanne Riordan, owner of the Thatch Bar and Restaurant in Lisselton, revealed the reasons they are closing as she spoke to the radio host in an emotional interview on Tuesday morning.
She said that staff shortages combined with rising food costs left them with no choice but to close their doors for good at the end of May despite the upcoming tourist season.
