Quinns Pub in Drumcondra, which was popular with GAA fans heading to Croke Park, could be demolished this year after a planning application - lodged with Dublin City Council earlier this month - seeks to build apartments and retail space on the well-known site.

Planning permission has been sought on the 0.194ha site for the demolition of all existing structures including Quinn’s pub; number 46; and the surviving facades of number 48B, 50 and 50A, Drumcondra Road Lower, Dublin 9.
