One of Cork’s most famous barber shops is to remain open after a buyer could not be found.

Mick Moriarty, whose father established the Baldy Barber in Cork’s city centre more than 86 years ago, had put the 'for sale' sign up on his shop in January, saying that he was not getting enough customers through the door to keep it going.
