His comments come in the wake of Dylan McGrath announcing the closure of two of his restaurants in the capital with immediate effect

.

“The overheads are so high. When we closed up L’Ecrivain the overheads were so high. Every month the bills just kept coming and we felt it, it’s why we really closed too. “If you think one in 10 people are employed by the hospitality industry, so 10 per cent are employed. I know a lot of it is seasonal work and lots of kids work in it. But it’s good for tourism too and needs help to stay alive.”

Derry, who began running the Club at Goffs in Naas, Co Kildare, two years ago added that Dublin has changed. He said: “I don’t go into town, but I really feel it’s changed, that’s a feeling I get from people who are in there.
