'We had no option' - Galway County Council defends decision to shut down popular food truck
Briefly

Misunderstood Heron, a café known for its Chilean and Irish cuisine, has been operating in Leenane since 2017. Recently, it was closed by Galway County Council due to unauthorized activity, despite being a popular stop for visitors to Connemara. Chief Executive Liam Conneally stated that the café never submitted planning applications, prompting the council to act upon public complaints. The closure has sparked significant public support, with prominent Irish figures voicing their appreciation and urging the council to find a resolution for the cherished establishment.
The Misunderstood Heron, a beloved café in Leenane, was shut down due to unauthorized activity, with no prior planning applications submitted by them since its operation began.
Liam Conneally cited the absence of planning applications from the Misunderstood Heron, which led to the mandatory continuation of the planning proposal process after public complaints arose.
