Keano scores a Corker after pitch for South Mall property

ROY KEANE and his family have scored with a modest property investment on South Mall, Cork — buying a four-storey building for the price of a mediocre Championship league footballer.

The Cork sports star’s name has been linked to a confidential sub-€500,000 property purchase in his native city’s financial heartland, with the building likely to be registered in a Keane family member’s name.

Coincidentally, the property at 44 South Mall already had a Keane association — it was the former offices of estate agents Keane Mahony Smith, who’ve just relocated.
