Developer Andrew Finn is seeking permission from the local authority | PICTURE: Brendan Gleeson
A DEVELOPER is planning to create new short-stay accommodation in the town of Kilmallock.
Andrew Finn, who has revamped the former Murphy’s Brewery in Kilmallock, is seeking permission from Limerick City and County Council to create three spots for tourists in the town.
He wants to change the use of three existing storage units at Gortboy into short-stay tourist accommodation spots.
As part of this, he is seeking the go-ahead to alter the window and door openings on the east and south sides of these storage units.

Roof lighting is also proposed, alongside a connection to local services like the sewage system, and other associated site works.
A formal decision is expected from council planners by the end of this month.
In 2021, the Limerick Leader reported that Mr Finn had taken over the former Murphy’s Brewery in Kilmallock.
He had exciting plans to revamp the landmark premises and convert it into a work-hub.
Built before 1871, the old brewery had been out of use since 2005 when Cahill's Hardware vacated.
It was William Henry O'Sullivan who opened the building as a mineral water manufacturer, and wholesaler of teas, wines and spirits.
He was a former member of the British parliament, representing the south Limerick community in Westminster.
Later on, in 1907, it was transferred to the Cork stout firm Murphy's.
Mr Finn did not return a request for comment from Limerick Live.
