It’s a case of new chapters, and new uses, for two bookshops, one in the heart of Cork City centre and the other in Clonakilty town, after recent sales.

Sold and destined for hospitality use is the former Uneeda Bookshop at 71 Oliver Plunkett Street after the retirement of long-time owner John Coffey.
