COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (JUNE 23 EDITION)
Potential buyers travelled from America to view a Ballyhaunis pub which is currently on the market, according to estate agent Seamus Carthy who is selling Paddy’s Bar and an adjacent guesthouse.
“We are nearing completion of sale now, there has been a great variety of interest,” said Carthy.
The estate agent says the interest shown in the bar thus far leads him to believe it will remain a going concern, alleviating worries that Ballyhaunis could lose one of its hostelries after the closure of several other pubs in recent years.
The “cosy atmosphere” of the Paddy’s Bar, which for many years was known as Gill’s, “increased its saleability”, said Carthy who has been offered €275,000 for the property, just short of the €300,000 listed price.
