A West Cork restaurant owner has said he may have to close his business due to the “outrageous” decision of Cork County Council to close a main road for resurfacing during the busy season.
David Wine runs Hayes’ Bar in Glandore and said he earns enough during the summer months to last the entire year, with three other businesses in the village in the same boat. The main road to the village which brings thousands of tourists in the summer months is currently closed and being resurfaced.
