Well-known pub in Newbridge still closed to customers

The famous Curragh Inn bar on Edward Street in Newbridge has still not reopened despite being shut for several weeks.

The popular sports bar is the official meeting place for the Republic of Ireland Supporters' Club in Newbridge which held its 21st anniversary social there in May.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill and FAI chief John Delaney also paid a visit to the venue two years ago.

Regulars flocked to the bar for its music gigs as well as charity fundraisers which benefited good causes.
