Two former brothels for sale at knock-down price

TWO brothels which featured heavily in a high-profile court case are to be sold – but for a knock-down price.

The proceeds of the sales of the two run-down Cork city premises are set to go to the Minister for Finance, but because both buildings are in poor repair, they are expected to sell for the basic site value.

The premises, each with about five rooms, are likely to make around €200,000 between them, a fraction of the sums garnered during their use as brothels.
