Businessman offers pub rent-free in bid to woo back customers

A businessman is giving away his pub rent-free for six months in a bid to attract customers back.

Up until March Mary Deeney’s Bar in Donegal was a thriving business. But the tenant landlord left and it was due to close its doors for a few weeks.

However, owner Jim McLaughlin said it has been impossible to find somebody to lease the bar, located on the outskirts of the village of Muff.
