Pre-tax losses at O’Dwyer pub group decrease sharply

Pre-tax losses at the slimmed down O’Dwyer hotel and pub group decreased sharply to €6.3m in 2010, new figures show.

The pub empire that brothers Liam and Desmond O’Dwyer built was broken up in 2009 when a bank receiver was appointed to three of their pubs, Café en Seine, The George, and Howl at the Moon.

However, the O’Dwyers continue to operate Break for the Border, the Dragon Bar and the Grafton Capital and Trinity Capital hotels.
