Cork restauranteur confident about the future of the sector
A Cork restaurateur says it's not all doom and gloom for the future of their sector, but it is daunting.
Claire Nash, owner of Nash19 on Prince's St. in the City Centre admits there are a number of challenges in getting Cork's pubs and restaurants back on their feet in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
She added that not extending the Government's wage subsidy scheme until the end of 2020 would make it practically impossible for restaurants to turn a profit.
Speaking to RedFM News, Claire Nash says there are even factors aside from Covid-19 that will affect business going forward - press PLAY
