Erm, no there isnāt. Thereās one pub open full time, Finnās. Matt of the Cross of Pallas is gone too.
Itāll be interesting alright I havenāt thought about it. Iād assume more people go to nursing homes nowadays than before and there seems to be some retirement communities popping up as well.
Itās must be very difficult for somebody older in the countryside who doesnāt drive.
There could be 7 of them in there and theyād take it in turns to serve customers 
You havenāt addressed anything in any of my posts, youāve simply relied on the anti-vax etc fallbacks.
Are you the right person to be calling anyone a spoofer?

So theres two and there was 3 up to a year ago? The Clodagh was open until recently enough i thought.
Youād think thereād be a couple more.
3 shops is a lot - usually would be more pubs than shops so its an odd one.
Pfizer, Cook medical, J and J for the few working in labs. Few working as teachers in nearby schools. A marketing consultant who mostly works from home married to a physiotherapist working in the local hospital. An electrician and his partner who runs a thriving Salon in the local town. Few examples that Iāve completely made up on the spot and plucked from thin airš
I drove through ballymacoda yesterday and by god was it one sorrowful place. The few businesses that were there are gone.
Working for a group in Rathgormack tbf.
Pity to see it go. Smashing food.
Aul Donal was a gent.
What are they going to turn it into?
They kept it open & itās going well.
Iāve been there a few times recently. A ghost town. One night over Christmas there was 2 of us and then 3 others in the whole place.
Sad.
Used to draw great clientele one time.
Pubs are fucked
Thatās a shame. Very homely spot. They get through some amount of roast beef on a match day.

Itās not gone. Donalās wife and daughter are selling up to a half dozen local buyers. Itās a good eating pub but as a drinking pub you need a good crowd there as itās such a big space and can be cold when itās just a few at the bar.
Thereās about two acres out the back of it in car park so maybe the new owners are hoping to develop that to get a quick return.
