Posting on Facebook, Tipperary author John G O'Dwyer lamented the loss of the restaurant, commenting on how it will be a great loss for Thurles.
He said: "After a wonderful 50 years in business, Ryan’s Daughter Restaurant in Thurles served its last customers today. Offering great home cooked food, it also served as a home from home for its many loyal customers and often seemed more about the chat than the food. Wishing Gary, Geraldine and of course wonderful chef James, all the best with their retirement."
