Publican’s horror as fire destroys bar complex

THERE was little Christmas cheer for a Co Wexford publican who lost his licensed premises in a fire yesterday morning.

The bar in the village of Clohamon, just outside Bunclody, in north Wexford, was destroyed in the blaze, with only the perimeter walls left intact.

A passerby observed smoke billowing from an overhead floor about 9am and immediately contacted the emergency services.
