Gardaí in Drogheda have not yet examined the scene of a fire that gutted a long- established pub in the town centre. The blaze, which left The Weavers little more than a shell, is believed to have broken out at about 3am yesterday.
The pub was a landmark in the town and had been trading for about 30 years. It had been recently renovated.
The three-storey building is one of a number of original buildings on West Street which was the original centre of the medieval town.
Engineers are to examine the building to see whether it would be safer to demolish it.
