Listing historyMusic history

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref TRP0188 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for THE COURTHOUSE BAR at THE MALL, DINGLE in CO. KERRY with THOMAS O'SULLIVAN AND SAUNDRA O'SULLIVAN as licensee.[1]

In 2018, the Kerryman reported that Tommy and Saundra O’Sullivan launched their CD *Safe Home* in their Courthouse Bar in Dingle.[2]

The same report said the couple opened the Courthouse Pub in 2011, and that National Geographic cited the Courthouse Pub in 2015 as a “go to” pub for traditional Irish music on the Wild Atlantic Way.[2]
