Approval has been granted for the redevelopment of a well-known bar and nightclub in Carrickmacross.
The Fiddler's Elbow is to be converted into a shop after planning permission was granted.
Local business Gifts N Things applied for planning permission to convert the former pub and nightclub into a retail space.
The building was purchased after the closure of The Fiddler's Elbow, with a plan to move Gifts N Things into it.
Works will include internal and external alterations and demolitions, and modifications to existing shop front.
The planning application adds the he opportunity for Gifts N Things to expand their current operations will also create new employment in the town.
Monaghan County Council has granted permission subject to conditions around signage and survey works that need to be carried out.
