Customers gutted as beloved Irish store to shut its doors for the final time
Madden Furniture, based on Station Road in Ennis, Co Clare, has announced it will officially close on Friday, July 11, after 49 years in business.
Known across the region for its quality bed frames, elegant tables, clever storage units, and cosy lounging furniture, the shop became a staple of the Ennis community – not just for its products, but for its warm customer service.
Despite its strong local reputation, the Madden family confirmed the sad news in a heartfelt statement on Facebook.
'Dear Valued Customers, after 49 incredible years suppling furniture to our community, the time has come for us to say goodbye.
'We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thank you for your unwavering support throughout the years. It has truly been a privilege to be a part of your homes and lives.'
To mark the end of an era, the store will host a final farewell sale, inviting the community to grab last-minute deals and say goodbye in person.
The closing-down sale will run from Tuesday, July 8 to Friday, July 11, between 11am and 7pm daily.
The announcement prompted an outpouring of emotion from long-time patrons, who flooded the comments section with tributes.
One wrote: 'Wishing you all good health and happiness on the next chapter. So sorry to hear another great shop is closing.'
Another said: 'So sorry to hear this. We were lucky to have such a quality furniture store on our doorstep.
'Wishing you all the very best, will pop in to the iconic store for a last shop before you close. Such a sad loss for Ennis.'

US airlines consider calling on Trump to weigh into Dublin Airport cap row
Keith Glatz, the senior vice president, international affairs, for Airlines for America, insisted the cap is in direct violation of the Open Skies agreement between the United States and the EU that permits extensive access rights to each jurisdiction for carriers from either region. Dublin Airport's passenger cap limits passenger numbers to 32 million a year. It's a planning condition attached in 2007 to the construction of Terminal 2. The government pledged in its election manifesto to remove the cap as soon as possible. However, it remains in place. Airlines for America represents major US carriers, such as Delta, United, American Airlines and JetBlue, which also serve Dublin. Mr Glatz said Airlines for America has so far not raised the cap issue directly with the US government. He added that Donald Trump has been clear that he wants to 'right-size' the US relationship with global governments where US businesses are being treated unfairly or governments are not complying with international obligations. 'It would be a shame for this issue to get co-opted into this larger dispute,' he said. 'It's eminently solvable. I just don't see any rationale for a cap on flights between the US and Dublin.' 'We've been trying over the last year to make sure this issue never got onto the agenda on the White House,' said Mr Glatz, adding that the lobby group has been trying to take every step short of asking the US government to intervene. 'Once I make that request, then it's out of our hands. The Irish government can solve this before it becomes a larger trade dispute,' he added. 'We're still optimistic that that's what's going to happen and that's our goal.' 'Any time the Irish government fails to comply with its international obligations under any treaty, aviation or otherwise, it endangers Irish business interests abroad.' Mr Glatz declined to speculate as to what specific measures the US government could take if the issue is not satisfactorily addressed. However, it's possible that the US government could take reciprocal measures that might impact Aer Lingus, for example. Any such measures could hamper its route network from Dublin to the United States, where it now serves almost 20 cities. 'The time to act is now,' said Mr Glatz. 'This doesn't need to turn into a dispute that would rise to the level of some of the others that you've seen between the US and EU that are currently ongoing.' The Irish government has touted potential legislation to deal with the cap. However, that could take months – even until next year, before it's law. 'I think it's in the very interest of this [Irish] government to act as soon as possible to get this legislation sorted,' said Mr Glatz. 'I am extremely optimistic that when the Irish government puts its mind to doing what is right for the Irish citizenry, we're not talking about a year, we're probably taking about a couple of months.' Mr Glatz said Airlines for America is also raising the cap issue with US media this week.

An extra one MILLION nights booked in Airbnb-style accommodation last year compared to 2023
ALMOST 7.5M GUEST nights were booked on leading online booking platforms for short-term tourist accommodation in Ireland last year – up almost 15% on 2023 levels. Figures published by the European Commission show almost one million additional guest nights were spent in such accommodation in the Republic in 2024 compared to the previous year. The figures, which are based on bookings made by holidaymakers through Airbnb, Expedia and Tripadvisor, confirm a strong performance by the tourist industry in 2024 both in Ireland and across the EU. They reveal that tourists from abroad accounted for approximately three-quarters of all guest nights in such accommodation in Ireland last year booking over 5.5m nights – up 17%. The rate of growth was more sluggish among Irish holidaymakers with over 1.9m guest nights recorded in the domestic segment of the market in 2024 – an annual increase of 10%. On a regional level, the figures highlight how bookings are spread relatively evenly around the country with almost 2.8m guest nights spent in short-stay tourist accommodation last year in the Southern region which includes Cork, Kerry, Clare, Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny – up 14% yearly. A total of 2.35m guest nights were booked in the Northern and Western regions which includes Galway and Mayo as well as most counties in the border region representing an annual increase of almost 14%. However, the biggest growth was recorded in the Eastern and Midland region which includes Dublin and other counties in mid- and north Leinster where guest nights were up over 17% to almost 2.3m. At the same time, Eastern and Midland is the only one of the three Irish regions, based on EU classifications, which has still not exceeded its pre-pandemic number of bookings. Despite last year's strong performance, the number of guest nights spent in Eastern and Midland is still 24% below the 3m recorded in 2019. Advertisement In contrast, the number of guest nights in the Northern and Western region in 2024 was 39% ahead of pre-pandemic levels, while the figure for Southern was 27%. Overall, guest nights across Ireland booked via online platforms last year were up almost 8% on 2019 levels. The latest figures show the Eastern and Midland region – largely due to Dublin's presence – is the most popular region for such stays among foreign visitors with just over 2m last year. However, Dublin does not feature in the list of the top 20 of Europe's most popular city destinations based on guest nights arranged through online booking platforms. Paris was again the favourite location with 23.5m guest nights – the equivalent of almost 65,000 guests daily in the French capital. Across the EU, bookings soared to a record-breaking 854m guest nights last year – up almost 19% on 2023 figures with an extra 135m guest nights. Ireland is ranked in 15th place behind Sweden (8m) and ahead of Denmark (7.3m). The figures published by Eurostat are the result of a landmark agreement reached in 2020 between the European Commission and the four leading platforms providing short-term accommodation booking services. It excludes figures for other types of accommodation such as hotels or campsites. The latest figures show solid growth in the number of guest nights booked online in the first quarter of 2025 across the EU – up 4.8% compared to the same period last year to 129.6m guest nights. However, numbers are up less than 1% in Ireland to just over 904,000. The figures will no longer include data on Tripadvisor since the start of 2025 as the company has exited the short-stay accommodation sector.
