Blow for Limerick as Clohessy’s sports pub forced to close

The decline in Limerick city centre trading claimed another casualty yesterday with the closure of a well-known sports pub, Clohessy’s at Howley’s Quay.

Former international rugby player Peter Clohessy opened the business 13 years ago in partnership with five Cork investors.

The Sin Bin nightsclub and a recently opened restaurant attached to the premises have also closed with a reported jobs loss of up to 60 full and part-time staff.
