In the heart of our beautiful Georgian village of Ramelton, County Donegal, lies Johnny's Ranch, a cornerstone of our community. Johnny, a native of Ramelton, has been tirelessly working to provide not only a livelihood for himself but a remarkable service to our town's residents and visitors alike. His award-winning food has become a staple for those who live here and those who visit to savor the unique charm our village offers.

Johnny's dedication goes beyond just business. He has been a constant source of support for local causes, generously donating free food to good causes and events, helping to foster a close-knit community spirit. His contributions to our village cannot be overstated, as he tirelessly works to bring people together, often becoming the thread that binds our community.

However, Johnny's Ranch now faces an unforeseen threat. Donegal County Council has issued a notice for its closure—a move that risks dismantling not just a business, but a community hub loved and cherished by many. This senseless act stands to strip away a pivotal piece of what makes Ramelton so special.

The decision to close Johnny's Ranch seems to be based on the perspectives of only a few individuals, disregarding the overwhelming benefit Johnny's business brings to our town. It's time to unite and show what Ramelton has always been—a tight-knit community that supports its own, especially when unjustly challenged.

We urge the Donegal County Council to reconsider this decision and recognize the value Johnny’s Ranch brings to our community. Let us come together to keep the tradition, spirit, and service that Johnny provides alive. Stand with us in solidarity for Johnny's Ranch, for Ramelton, and for the community spirit that thrives with businesses like his.

Please sign this petition to prevent the closure of Johnny's Ranch and protect the invaluable service he provides, ensuring the vibrancy and heart of Ramelton remains strong.
