Architect Paul Clinton is understood to have joined the race to buy Flannery’s on Camden Street, one of the best-known pubs in Dublin city, with a bid estimated by sources at up to €7 million.

Mr Clinton, who co-owns the nearby Cassidy’s pub, is prominent among three separate bidders for Flannery’s, which is in examinership.

It is understood that the other bidders include the Mangan family, who own well-known Dublin pub Doheny & Nesbitt, and a third proposal led by the exploration and cinemas investor Tom Anderson. Source: The Irish Times.
