Cork city’s Clancy’s bar is set to rise again, in time for its 195th birthday, part of a c€3.5/€4m total investment by its new consortium of owners.

A recovery in trade in one of Cork’s city centre’s under-performing streets — Academy Street — is heralded with the opening this weekend of a new restaurant, CoqBull, which replaces hospitality supremo Jay Bourke’s long-established Cafe Bar Deli.

ONE of Kinsale’s best-known and largest bar/nightclubs, An Seanachaí, is for sale for a receiver, guiding €450,000 and with best and final offers sought by this day next month — so, skates on.

THE gardens will sell Wilton Heights, in Upper Ardmore in Cork’s Passage West, but the house is no slouch either.
