UCC management reverses decision to close beloved Old Bar

Management at University College Cork has done a U-turn on its decision to call time on the Old Bar.

UCC Students’ Union confirmed yesterday that the landmark on-campus bar, a feature for over 30 years, has been saved from closure and will reopen at the start of the new college year on September 12.

It follows a decision by members of the university management team operations group who considered a detailed proposal from students’ union leaders which sets out a strategy for the reinvention of the bar.
