Historic pub on Dublin's Parnell Street offered for €2.25m
It is being sold by the Broder family and in 2010 this newspaper reported that they bought it for around €1m. Subsequently they undertook a major investment and extended the premises to include Parnell Street's only rooftop terrace bar, Captain Moonlight's, as well as the Rua Cocktail Bar on the first floor. Over the years the pub was strongly associated with Irish television's early political humour when the Hall's Pictorial Weekly programme satirised Irish local party councillors by naming one of them Parnell Mooney, which had been the well-known name of the pub for the best part of a century. That character was played by the late Frank Kelly who went on to play the drunken Fr Jack Hackett in Father Ted. Located in a historic position on Parnell Street, just off O'Connell Street, opposite the Rotunda Hospital and adjacent to Henry Street, The Parnell Heritage Bar & Grill which extends to 700 sqm. Shane Markey of Lisney describes the premises as being in very good trading condition and offering spaces for day trade, dining and events. He believes it has significant potential for further growth.

They are the foundation on which the GAA is built,' he added. Cathaoirleach of Wexford GAA, John Kenny, has thanked Des and OmniPro for their support.
