THE banners are up along Cork city’s St Patrick’s Street for today’s St Patrick’s Day parade — and, selling agents DTZ Sherry FitzGerald have just this week managed to snake in a large ‘Sold’ sign on a high-profile building on this retail thoroughfare which bears the saint’s name.

WITH a pick-up in fortunes at the northern end of Cork City’s retail thoroughfare, Patrick Street, a new sales push and a new agent are behind the vacant corner property at No 125 Patrick Street/Lavitts Quay, by St Patrick’s Bridge.

THE former Cork City Blacktie store is due for sale, within a week of the Irish suit hire company announcing it was going into liquidation, with closure of 11 shops from tomorrow, after a meeting in the Plaza Hotel, Tallaght.
