A local campaign is underway to bring Linnane’s Pub in Kilfenora back into community hands.

Linnane’s, once a cornerstone of the village — known for its traditional music sessions and warm community spirit — has been closed for some time, like many rural pubs across Ireland.

Now, a group of local musicians, neighbours and volunteers are working together to raise €500,000 to purchase and renovate the building, with plans to reopen it as a community-owned, not-for-profit cultural hub.

Launch night is this Friday, 4th July.

For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Orla Vaughan, Kilfenora Corner Team Member.
