The letter, penned by Pauline Maguire, reads:
'Dear Friends, Regretfully our beautiful cafe has not survived the recent challenging times we find ourselves operating through. With restrictions and safety measures imposed, it has become impractical and financially difficult to continue trading.'
'From my broken heart, I would like to thank you all for your support and custom over the past 24 years in business in Enniscorthy.'
'I would especially like to thank my staff for their hard work and loyalty over the years. Finally, I would like to wish you all good health and keep safe and well. Regards, Pauline Maguire.'
The comment section under the tweet was filled with people who were sad to see the café go.
