Famous Cork landmark to return to city centre after restoration works

A religious procession passes the Fireman's Rest on St Patrick's Street, Cork, in 1915. 

A famous structure that survived the burning of Cork over a century ago is set to become a feature of the city’s landscape again.

The 120-year-old Fireman’s Rest hut that once stood on St Patrick’s Street, and which was removed during the street revamp over 20 years ago and left to rot in a council storage yard, is being restored for reinstatement outside the city’s main fire station.
