Dismayed local publicans are warning that many pubs in County Roscommon may never reopen in the future. There has been widespread dismay following Tuesday’s announcement that pubs won’t be allowed to reopen this Monday, as had originally been planned. Larry Brennan, the Chairperson of the Roscommon Town & District branch of the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland, said: “This decision could mean that some pubs will never open again”. Sarah Jane Coffey, the proprietor of Coffey’s Bar and shop in Lecarrow, described it as “a dark day for publicans”. Roscommon-Galway Constituency “This (running a pub) is already a dying trade and sympathy from Leo Varadkar and other politicians won’t pay the bills,” she said. SIGN OF THE WEATHER... Heather Humphreys TD, Minister of Social Protection, Community Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice said: “If immeand Rural Development and the Islands officially openend the Boyle to Lough Key Cycleway and il tá diate action isn’t taken to support these pubó V the construction phase for the redevelopment of the former Royal Hotel yesterday (Wednesday). licans, then some pubs may never open their Also pictured are Roscommon Country Council Cathaoirleach Laurence Fallon and Frank doors again – particularly in rural areas”.
