A Cork city pub that opened in the 1800s and has a fairly unique feature upstairs could be turned in apartments.
Lastly known as '98 Street' as it sits on the corner between there and Gillaby, the bar first opened all the way back in 1861 and had been trading right up to the pandemic.
The pub has changed its name many times over the years, it was known as The Gill Tavern for a long time before becoming the Beggerman in the early part of the 2010s.

It then changed over to 98 Street, but now its closed up and an application has gone to change its use to residential accommodation.
Cork City Council this week received the submission to turn the spot into three apartments and a decision is set to be made by 21st September.
The spot was one of the more unique places in Cork, as unusually it boasted a 35-seater cinema upstairs. The cinema used to show classic films and was free to go into (as long as you bought a drink!).
The quirky feature was a big hit as people loved the authentic setup with proper velvet chairs and special themed movie nights held by the owners.
