Mayo business announces closure

A west Mayo business has announced it's closing its doors at the end of the month.

Ashling's, a discount store on the main street in Newport, has announced the decision on the business's Facebook page.

Customers of the shop, a welcoming hub that met all manner of household needs, gifts and lots more, were told: 'It is with a very heavy heart and months of debating that I have decided to close Ashling's.

'I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who has come through the door. It's been an amazing adventure, and I've met some fantastic people and have made lifelong friends.

'We will be open 'til the end of March, and no doubt there'll be lots of chats in between. Still lots of great offers to be had so call in.'
