Chef Neven Maguire. A Co. Cavan-based priest has hit out at a newspaper over what he described as a “cheap shot” against well-known chef Neven Maguire.
Fr Charlie O’Gorman hit out at a recent article in the Sunday Times which he believed had been critical of Mr Maguire.
In a subsequent letter to the newspaper Fr O’Gorman, formerly of the parish of Blacklion where Mr Maguire runs his award-winning restaurant, said that “Neven is far too busy preparing free meals for the elderly and vulnerable people in his home are of Blacklion to have time to reply”.
Mr Maguire and the staff of his restaurant, MacNean House, have been preparing meals for the vulnerable in their local community, as well as donating food to intensive care nurses.
Fr O’Gorman said he was writing “on behalf of those people who are being kept safe and well by him”.
