Claremen in running to buy €12m Durty Nelly’s

TALKS are believed to be at an advanced stage for the sale of one of the most famous pubs in the world, Durty Nelly’s, for a reported €12 million.

The pub, which is beside Bunratty Castle on the Limerick-Shannon road, is owned by Limerick businessman Humphrey O’Connor.

He bought it more than 25 years ago for IR£1million, then a record price for a pub. It is believed the asking price this time round is in excess of €12m.
