    I wonder if this €1.5 million goes towards the 2 billion Euro debt that Johnny owes to the Irish taxpayer
    or to his personal slush fund?
    A bit unfair really, especially when hundreds of thousands of taxpayers who are picking up his tab are loosing their homes.

    It’s likely Bewley’s will be turned into some souless British or American retail outlet and another piece of Dublin’s inner city history will be consigned to the historical dustbin. All because of the greed of a vulture landlord. Disgusting.

    Upward only rents are simply ludicrous! Adapting to the economic conditions at any given time would see more small companies surviving, in times of downturn.

    The irony is that if they did it would probably be profitable inside a year.

    That establishment is spectacularly badly run with too many staff and too many products for sale. It needs to be scaled back to a fixed menu with more of a focus on production line serving.

    Exactly, as if our streets need another bloody Costa/Starbucks. Very fond memories of travelling up to Dublin and having tea in Bewleys, beautiful structure and interior. The rent on the building is obscene, many of the larger chains would even struggle with that.

    If rent is €1.5 million a year, they need to make €125,000 a month (on top of costs for staff, food, etc) just for rent. That’s a lot of coffees.

    The owner would have to be willing to sell the building. I can’t see them wanting to give up a guaranteed €1.5 million annual rental income from one property. Also as the building is owned by a company, loosing such a substantial asset could lower the value of the company which would also have to be approved by the shareholders. And as we all know keeping companies and their shareholders rich is a higher priority in this country than anything else.
