Fáilte Ireland to open office in Cork

There’s already a feather in the cap of 125 Patrick Street Cork, as new tenants Fáilte Ireland/the Irish Tourist Board prepare to open a new city centre tourist visitor offices at this high-profile city centre building.

Previously trading as Black Tie and bought last year by an investor, No 125 is right by St Patrick’s Bridge, facing the Merchants Quay Shopping Centre, and which is now up for sale (see story this page).

A giant yellow feather this week crowns No 125, which for decades was a bar, the Swan and Cygnet, before being acquired by Black Tie and has been vacant for several years.
