The overall winners of the finalist nominations are expected to be announced at an Environmental Awards Ceremony to be held on November 19th next, and at which the current understandably proud proprietor M/s Marie Bourke is expected to attend.
De Búrca’s licensed hostility opens seven nights a week and is viewed by locals and visitors as the ideal cosy location for that quiet drink, where cosy conversation is assured to materialize uninterrupted. This traditional premises in Thurles is still one of just a few pubs now in the town, which still provide that cosy and welcoming old style open fire, which down through the years was so welcome to those travelling.
No harm to remember also, that each Friday, the lovers of traditional Irish music are kept fully entertained, starting from 10.00pm each Friday night.
