nothing yet it would seem. Wetherspoons looked at it and although it was not as big as they wanted they considered it but didn't go ahead in the end. Such a pity as they have a second bar coming on stream in Dun Laoireghe and they also have a city center pub in Cork City openning in the new year.

They got a bit enthusiastic by all accounts and went through a wall that turned out to be of archaeological interest so all of the rigours of planning and archaeology have now descended on them. With all the costs and delays that normal entails.

Does anyone know if they are planning to be open before Christmas or is it a long term renovation?

homecouldbhere

Passed there the other day and I couldn't see any activity of any kind. (weekday morning around 11.30am)
That doesn't mean nothing's happening of course but would be very shocked if it's open for business any time soon.

From the horses mouth. They started to drill a well and part of the old city wall collapsed, city planners not to happy. Opening put off indefinietly, so the same fellow bought Walshs pub just up from T&Hs. He hopes to have that open for st St Patricks day.

They were trying to be smart and reduce their water bill. Another example of publicans coming to town to "Show the locals how its done". :rolleyes::D

It would be great if they did. With the new/old cinema and Weatherspoons it would go a long way to reverse the ghosttown feel that that area has suffered from in recent years after 5:30pm.

The same guy who bought T&HS bought Walsh's he also owns Biddy Earley's in Killkenny. The wholesale drinks suppliers Tullows of Carlow bought Mc Loughlans.

Mc Bride the scrapped car parts man on the way to Killkenny has bought the Showboat.

One of the local papers reported this week that Wetherspoons have until the 9th of Dec to sign the contracts if not the property you mentioned will go into the All Sop / Nama, auction on that date.

I believe the reserve is 850k

The Bowling Alley

The reason I ask is because I heard a rumour that they were about to pay €1 million for it. Maybe they're trying to save a few bob

Is Walsh's Thomas Mahers?

I can't think of any other pub near T&Hs.

Trick of the Tail

The old shop opposite T&H's with the red grilles.

A poor old bloke who was quite blind used to run it. Always felt sorry for him putting the grilles up at the end of the day while obviously having difficulty seeing what he was doing.

Always had time for a cheery greeting though.
