Moloneys shop to be pharmacy

Moloney's premises opposite Bardons pub was sold recently, following an auction.

The Diary understands that it was bought by the owners of Burkes Pharmacy, for a price reportedly in the region of €1.3 million.

The frontage is listed and must be retained in any development, but it looks like the old drapery shop will at some time in the future be part of a very fine business premises, which can only further improve the present commercial end of the town.
