It’s your call as former pub comes up for sale

AUSTRALIAN Colin Breen went looking for a period-style home when he made the move to Europe/Ireland and more narrowly Co Cork — and you could say he stumbled across a place that many before him had stumbled out of.

The mythically-titled Cuchulainn House, near Innishannon and within easy strike of Cork city, the airport, Bandon and Kinsale, was known as May Nan's for many years, but time was called on its licensed days in the 1960s when it went from public house to private home.

Now, the nearest bar for thirsty travellers back along these quiet country backroads is the Rising Sun (along the back route to Kinsale), and all is peace and serenity at roadside Cuchulainn House at Kilminogue Cross, just off the main Innishannon road.
