One of Cork city centre's best known pubs will reopen on Friday after a €500,000 makeover following a link-up with drinks giant and Guinness owner Diageo. Clancy's on Princes Street in Cork which is owned by Paul Montgomery is closing this week ahead of its revamp which will see a new Guinness-themed bar as part of its offering, which will include a restaurant, cocktail 'lab', and rooftop party bar. Clancy's is owned by Paul Montgomery, a renowned figure on the city's pub and entertainment scene for more than three decades. The bar has traded in the city centre for 200 years. On Friday, the premises reopens with its new look, incorporating Arthur's Bar @ Clancy's, described as an "immersive Guinness experience" and which will include Guinness merchandise. Upstairs, 1824 @ Clancy's is a new restaurant serving contemporary Irish food, under head chef Mark Nevin from West Cork. Clancy's will also serve breakfast and lunch seven days a week. The premises also includes a premium cocktail bar on the ground floor and the open air rooftop party Sky Bar on the top level. Mr Montgomery said 15 new jobs will be created at the premises and announced Dave Daly, as group general manager, and restaurateur Shane Spillane as head of food and beverage. Mr Spillane is a well known figure in the West Cork food trade. 'This is more than a refurbishment — it's a reimagining to bring us into the future. We're proud of Clancy's 200-year history, and we're building on that legacy with something truly special. Cork's food and beverage scene is growing more ambitious, and we want to be right at the heart of it," said Mr Montgomery.

May declared as ALS Awareness Month in Kingsport
KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL)—At Tuesday's meeting, the Kingsport Board of Mayor and Aldermen presented a proclamation declaring May as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month in the city. Ron Codispoti, whose father passed away from ALS in January of 2024, received an email from the ALS Association regarding the awareness month. 'There was an email that we had gotten that reached out to multiple people in the ALS community,' he said. '[It said to] reach out to your local board of mayors, representatives in any way. And so I did.' Codispoti received a response from the city, stating the proclamation would be made at the May 20 Board Meeting. Kingsport Mayor Paul Montgomery presented the proclamation to Codispoti, alongside family and friends. 'It's great to have it, to be more aware around not only this community, but hopefully more communities around the area, especially the Tri-Cities,' Codispoti said. Codispoti said the proclamation is about bringing awareness to the disease. 'I want everybody to know that ALS is a disease that is very hard on families,' he said. 'Not only on the person who receives this [diagnosis]. And I want everybody to know that if we band together, we can find a way to either find a cure or some way of not making this a last chance.'

The Palace finances behind failed Newcastle bid for Guehi
Former Newcastle United scout and Crystal Palace adviser Paul Montgomery, speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, external about the Magpies' pursuit of Palace and England centre-back Marc Guehi last summer:"Michael Olise had to go [from Palace] because he had a clause in his contract. I wish Newcastle had taken him - he is a special player."Palace lost him and also Joachim Andersen, because of his age and the way the deal was to Fulham. The last thing they wanted to do was lose Guehi, who is a super professional."Speaking to the chairman [Steve Parish], he didn't want him to leave and he said the fee was £70m because he didn't want it done. Newcastle were in for him, Liverpool looked at the fee and said it was too much, but Newcastle came back."What I said to Steve was: 'You wanted £70m, but hang on to him as much as you can, because you'll still get £50m when he's got a year left [on his contract] at the end of the season. You'll lose £20m but you'll gain £130m because you'll stay in the league'."Listen to BBC Radio Newcastle's Total Sport on BBC Sounds
