The Tannery’s Final Chapter | Dublin News

After nearly 30 years, Paul and Máire Flynn are closing their beloved Dungarvan restaurant, The Tannery, on January 1, 2027, but not without a legacy. From Máire’s first restaurant steps — complete with a Michelin-starred crash course — to Paul’s rapid rise from London’s Chez Nico to Ireland’s finest kitchens, their journey was one of grit, growth, and grittier customer complaints. The Tannery, born in a warehouse and beloved for its bold flavors and front-of-house hustle, weathered economic storms with the help of their Townhouse and wine bar. Now, they’re transforming the space into a more intimate, seasonal dining experience — with Paul even stepping back to an assistant chef role — while their architect returns from retirement to preserve the soul of the original. It’s a bittersweet farewell for fans, but a proud, purposeful pivot for a couple who built something truly special.
