A landmark pub in Offaly is to be converted into townhouses after plans for the project were approved by Offaly County Council

Permission was sought to convert the Sunrise Inn on Townsend Street in Birr into three townhouses. 

The townhouses will be a mix of two, three and four bedroom units.

Modifications to the building will include additional windows and the blocking up of an existing doorway. 

Planning permission was granted by Offaly County Council with nine conditions attached.
