Tuck into Clon’s Lotto lucky shop

A corner shop in one of the very best locations in West Cork’s Clonakilty has come for sale — after three generations in the one family’s ownership, and several lucky Lotto jackpot sales as well.

Dating back to 1912 in the care of the McCarthy clan is the three-storey building at 63 Pearse Street, now overlooking the recently upgraded Astna Square, which has created a new hub in the town’s centre.

It’s being sold by David and Kay McCarthy, as a going concern, and they’ll be big boots to fill — vendor David played in the 1973 All Ireland when Cork beat Galway, and for sterling midfield service he won a place on the All Star team in 1976.
