Elaine McArdle

Elaine McArdle is the co-owner of Bottega Toffoli, a restaurant on Castle Street, Dublin. The recent street closure due to heightened security for Ireland's EU presidency has severely impacted her business, particularly affecting walk-in trade from tourists and concert-goers. Despite the challenges, McArdle has opted against pursuing legal action, expressing concern over the loss of trade while acknowledging the accommodating nature of local gardaí.
