Catch of week in Kinsale

BUILT 140 years ago to save souls, Kinsale’s Fisherman’s Hall has been born again, several times over.

Erected as a place of spiritual sustenance for sundry English, Cornish and Manx fishermen in the historic and busy Co Cork port, and now tourism town, this stone-built hall could be seen as a bit of a Catch of the Day, given its €400,000 price via agents Sherry FitzGerald.

It has changed hands several times in the past 20 years, most notably in the early 1990s when taken on as a domestic house conversion by the Corrigan family who had relocated to Kinsale from overseas.
