A NEW restaurant opened on Friday night in The Square, but the night before was an occasion to welcome suppliers, friends and well-wishers to Croí.

Noel Keane, Kevin O’Connor and Paul Cotter served up some wine, beer and canapés to guests who wished the lads well in their venture on the premises which was formerly The Stonehouse.

Croí is based on local, wild and artisan food with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Scroll down for photos…
