Cork City’s JD Wetherspoon’s bar and restaurant will cease trading in the coming months as the sale of its Linen Weaver premises on Paul St nears completion.

The Irish Examiner understands that staff at the Cork City pub were informed this week that the bar will cease trading by Christmas, with the new purchaser planning to close the premises for at least four months after the sale is completed.
