Fears for 36 jobs as closure of three Waterford pubs spark sit-ins

Workers at a popular pub in Waterford are staging a sit-in after three bars under the same ownership closed their doors with immediate effect on Monday night.

Thirty-six jobs are expected to be lost with the closures of the Showboat at The Glen; the Mansion House in Johnstown; and the Halfway House, formerly Katie Reilly’s, on the Tramore Rd.

The premises are owned by Tom and Anna Treacy.
