Haven't the White Rabbit owners bought Preachers recently? I'm a regular the deli in town, the Cuban Sambo is a fucking beautiful. I could see how a full sit down joint would struggle, but was never in there so not sure how well it worked. Cllrs screaming that the govt have to do something about 3 restaurants closing in Cork shows how removed they are from the actual big issue of the day. What would help is people stopped getting so up in their high horse about prices, and maybe places like this closing will give pause for thought on that. Nice quality food and good service costs money. The best thing the government could do to help the hospitality industry is buying drastically increasing the amount of / affordability of homes for rent. If people are spending 500 to 1000 euro more on rent per month than they should be then that's big expensive nights out are not on the agenda. As for Ms. Nash - I had a front row seat once for how she treated her staff at while they doing a off site catering gig, which was different level to what you'd see in the restaurant. An absolute raging bollox of a woman. Despite the good being fantastic, I avoided the place like a plague because of her.
