IT’S the end of an era for one of Cork’s oldest menswear stores as Con Murphys prepares to cease trading after 91 years in business.

Having outfitted presidents, Taoisigh, Generals (Tom Barry), Lord Mayors and sporting greats, the outlet Con Murphy opened in 1932 at 60 St Patrick’s Street will host one last sale before shutting up shop.
