Floating pub gets seven-day licence

A FLOATING pub and restaurant on Dublin’s River Liffey has been granted a seven-day licence in the Circuit Civil Court.

Carol O’Kennedy, counsel for pub baron Larry Crowe, told Judge Alison Lindsay he had spent close to €4 million on a complete refurbishment of the passenger vessel Cill Airne.

She said the ship had been fitted with bars, lounges and a restaurant and would be docked close to the National Conference Centre in Dublin.
