The future of an outdoor restaurant, popular with many Mayo people, has become clearer.

News has been shared about the future of The Misunderstood Heron. The eatery based in Leenane had to shut down three weeks ago, as reported by The Mayo News. 

Many personalities voiced their opinion back then. Former Mayo footballer Lee Keegan replied 'Heartbreaking'. Travel influencer and radio host Roz Purcell wrote 'Hope there’s a resolution/ nearby location found'.

Back then, the Misunderstood Heron closed their announcement on Instagram by saying 'Goodbye to 8 jobs, let's make it a weekend to remember' as they enter their final days of business.

Operated by husband-and-wife Kim Young and Reinaldo Seco since 2017, the café had become a staple of journeys to Connemara for its blend of Chilean and Irish cuisine.
