CORK City’s best stab at Parisian chic, the iconic Winthrop Arcade, has sold to a new owner for a sum believed to be in the region of €1.7m.

The Irish Examiner understands that the buyer is a Cork businessman and that it will be “business as usual” in the seven-unit arcade, probably the prettiest and quirkiest retail spot in the city.
