The pub is the latest effort from Benny McCabe, who owns a chain of well-loved pubs along Leeside's Heritage Trail including Mutton Lane, The Oval, Crane Lane, The Bodega, El Fenix and The Poor Relation.

Road officers in Kerry had a busy Sunday, catching both a speedster doing 175km/h and a drink driver a whopping five times over the legal limit. The motorist clocked for speeding was 70km/h over the limit on the N21 near Castleisland. They were promptly arrested for dangerous driving - and if convicted, it could be a long time before they get back behind the wheel of their fancy BMW, as they'd be in for a mandatory two-year ban from the roads.

Whatever your weekend plans are, you'll want to take a coat with you. Yesterday started off nicely, but last night saw much of Cork pelted with heavy rain - and we're in for a bit more before high pressure conditions roll in next week, bringing with them some bright, dry days. Today will start off cloudy with showers here and there, some turning heavy. We'll get a glimpse of sunshine again early in the afternoon, but that'll be followed by even more showers - some of them possibly thundery.

Cranes are usually used to doing the heavy lifting - but these 150m cranes are the ones getting a lift as they set sail for the Caribbean. The ship-to-shore cranes, which each weigh a whopping 2,000 tonnes, have been put together in the Port of Cork by the Liebherr construction company. Having undergone assembly at the Verolme Dockyard, they're now being transferred them to a specially built ship for transport to their final destination.
