CORK’S newest live music destination will open this weekend following a multi-million euro revamp of a former church in Ballycotton, East Cork.

Ballycotton's ‘Inn by The Harbour’ is a stunningly set bar, restaurant and seven guest rooms, with a 130-year history marked by the intervention of two men in clerical habits over a 110-year time span.

I’M NOT sure how many points opening — or in this case rejuvenating — a restaurant registers in the National Optimism Rebuilding Programme.
