A Fáilte Ireland campaign to address staff shortages in hospitality is not going to benefit businesses this year, that’s according to the co-owner of the Thatch Lisselton, Joanne Riordan.

The restaurant, which employs between 15-20 people, will close for good at the end of this month, citing difficulties in getting staff and price increases.

Fáilte Ireland has unveiled a €700,000 campaign to address staff shortages in the hospitality sector called ‘Works For Me’.
