Media appearances

Ross Golden Bannon of The Sunday Business Post published a negative review of his and his compatriots' "depressing" experience at Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant in October 2001.[1] He bemoaned the fact that himself and his accomplices had to pour their own wine, implying that a restaurant of this calibre ought to employ wine pourers, and complained that the food was overcooked and too salty.[1]

When Dundon appeared on the CBS programme, The Saturday Early Show on 17 March 2007, they mentioned his ownership of Dunbrody.[2]

Dunbrody Country House Hotel and Restaurant has been praised in the Italian media as well.[3]
