The pub and hotel group that owns Kehoe's and the Stag's Head in Dublin took a hit of €37m to its revenues, as the Covid-19 pandemic flared last year.

Accounts from the Louis Fitzgerald pub and hotel company Burtse Ltd show losses of €306,598 in the 12 months to the end of June last year as revenues fell to €16m from €53m.
