County Tipperary Chamber have welcomed two new members to the association, both hailing from North Tipperary.

The Chamber have announced that two hospitality businesses from Thurles have taken out Chamber membership.

Naomi's Café on Friar Street and the Arch Bar on Liberty Square are two of County Tipperary Chamber's newest members.

Naomi's Café opened in 2006 and takes great pride in providing the freshest food, handcrafting and baking their own scones, tarts, and cakes every single day.

They source the freshest of raw ingredients as locally as possible and are proud of the produce of Tipperary.

They also grow their own salads and vegetables in their garden and polytunnel, with their free range hens providing eggs for the café.

Naomi's garden is stocked with seasonal produce throughout the year which gives them great variety in creating new menu choices to match the seasons.

The Arch Bar meanwhile, has been operating in Thurles since 1947.

It is a family-run pub, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere for enjoying food, drinks, sports, and live music.

Pat and Gaile Hayes, who own and run the Arch Bar, with their extensive experience in hotel and catering management, also run Liberty Catering, established in 2002, providing tailored catering services for all occasions.

In April 2022, the Hayes' opened DeFaoite, a fine dining restaurant continuing the Hayes family tradition.

CEO of County Tipperary Chamber Michelle Aylward said that the new members were very welcome to the Chamber.

"I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to all of our newest members.

"We're delighted to have you join the County Tipperary Chamber—a network built on collaboration, support, and shared success," she said.

"As the only affiliated Chamber in Tipperary, we’re proud to represent your interests both locally and nationally. We now hold a seat on all Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs) across the county, ensuring your voice is heard where it matters most," Ms Aylward added.
