Louis Fitzgerald sells Traders pub for €1m

By Brendan Grehan

LOUIS FITZGERALD’S Traders pub in Walkinstown sold for €1 million at the last Allsop Auction on Tuesday.

Three months ago, Mr Fitzgerald told The Echo that he was putting the pub on the market as it is no longer a fit with the Fitzgerald group’s portfolio.

Mr Fitzgerald told The Echo: “Traders is a great pub with great staff, but I have decided to sell it on due to the fact that it’s not fitting in with our current portfolio. The pubs in our group are all veering towards food and that’s something that Traders doesn’t fit with.”
