SOLAS News

We are very proud to announce the arrival of our new Food manager Caoilfhionn Byrne.

Caoilfhionn is a Portarlington native and despite her young age has worked in the food industry for the last 10 years.

She should fit right in at SOLAS as she has a passion for good food, great coffee and green sustainable approach to life.

David Maher of SOLAS explains: “we believe that Caoilfhionn has the potential to bring all the elements of our food offering, farmers market and Eco development together to turn SOLAS into the national destination that it deserves to become.”
