Pub Closures Now Running At One A Day
Irish bars are calling last orders and closing for business at the staggering rate of one a day. Almost 600 hundred have now closed for good outside the Dublin area since the imposition of the smoking ban over two years ago.
In the booming economy of the Celtic Tiger, bars and restaurants that should be doing a roaring trade are being forced out of business as customers desert the non-smoking establishments leaving owners with no choice but to close.
A county by county list of the closures can be found in the news section.
