Mc’s Bistro & Grill, located in the heart of the north Mayo town, confirmed in a social media post that it will cease trading on Saturday.

The restaurant thanked its loyal customers and staff for their support over the past number of years.

“Unfortunately, our time has come to an end. We will be closing our doors for good this coming Saturday.

Thank you to all our fantastic customers over the last few years, we really enjoyed our time.

A huge thank you to all our staff that have been with us at any stage throughout our journey. We are deeply saddened at bringing you this news,” the post read.

The message encouraged customers to call in during the last few days of service to enjoy their popular breakfast, lunch and brunch offerings one final time.
