Cork publican Benny McCabe has welcomed what he calls a revitalisation of the city centre as the prominent businessman welcomes his newest watering hole, The Fountain, which is set to open this week.

Occupying the former USIT travel office at 66 Oliver Plunkett Street, Mr McCabe calls his latest venture an ode to the 1870s.
