Giant British pub chain plans Cork city move

British pub chain JD Wetherspoon has outlined its plan to open a bar in one of Cork city centre’s busiest areas.

According to additional information provided to Cork City Council, the development will consist of the amalgamation of the existing four-storey building at 6/7 Paul Street and the existing 3 storey building on 15/16 Carey’s Lane to provide a single pub, thanks to internal modifications on each floor including the removal and rearrangement of walls and staircases, the relocation of a passenger lift, and the change of use at 1st and 2nd floor of 6/7 Paul Street from restaurant to pub use.

It is also planned to change the use of 15/16 Carey’s Lane from Nightclub to Pub, and to open pavement cafes at ground floor level on Carey’s Lane and Paul Street.
