How do pub owners in Ireland make a profit?

The towns are small, and the pubs are aplenty as I’ve experienced first hand. Especially in a town like Kilkenny that has 65 pubs per 8,000 people, how does one make any profit running a pub in Ireland with so much competition? I’ve almost never been in a crowded Irish pub! Do you just break even? Is it your second job?
