VIDEO: Fire destroys former Cork pub

A well-known former public house in Cork City was gutted by fire last night in a blaze that led to significant traffic diversions in the area.

Up to five units of Cork City Fire Brigade tackled the blaze at Moynihan’s Bar (O’Muimhneacháin’s) on the Lower Glanmire Rd, opposite the entrance to Kent Station.

A spokesperson for the fire service said they received a call to attend the blaze at 7.37pm. The units were at the scene for close to three hours.
