THE Outpost bar in the Cork city suburb of Bishopstown is set for redevelopment into residential units following its sale to Kerry developers.

The well-known bar and off-licence, on a 0.25ac site on Curraheen Road, was brought to market last year by auctioneer Sam Kingston of Casey & Kingston with a guide price of €975,000, but attracted limited interest from publicans.
