Jimmy’s on Park Street has gone sale agreed in recent days

Jimmy’s Bar in Park Street is close to being sold after it’s for sale sign was changed to ‘sale agreed’ in recent days.

The popular public house – formerly Oscars – has been on the market with Property Partners Laurence Gunne for some time but it appears set to change hands.

The current tenant, Vincie Duffy, will be unaffected by the sale of the premises, which up until now had been owned by former Dundalk FC owner Gerry Matthews.

Meanwhile, two properties on Clanbrassil Street – both of which used to be occupied by Juniors’ childrens clothes shop – have also sold in recent times as the town’s commercial market receives a timely boost.

No details on what sums were paid for the buildings have been announced.
