Another Donegal business has succumbed to the impossible cost of doing business.

Owners of Kelly's Kitchen based in Sliabh Liag Lodge, Carrick have announced that they are closing. However, there is some positive news in that outside catering will continue, and the owners will operate from a café in Glencolmcille.

Ann Marie from Kelly's Kitchen took to Facebook to share the difficult news.

She said: "It's with a heavy heart that we have to inform all our loyal customers, staff and suppliers that due to the increasing costs of produce,esb,gas,rates,vat etc etc the list goes on that we have taken the decision to close Kelly's Kitchen at Sliabh League Lodge as of April 1. 

"Anyone with vouchers can be redeemed or used towards outside catering.

"It is not the end of Kelly's; we will be opening the café in Glencolmcille in the coming months and will be continuing on with the outside catering so please contact me if you have any parties.
