The pub may be a whole busier once the pandemic is over.
A pub that was used to film the smash hit series Normal People might be a lot busier when the pandemic is over, having gained global recognition thanks to the show.
Killoran's Pub, based in Tubbercurry, Co Sligo, was used as a setting in the series for funeral scenes in the phenomenally popular BBC show, and it's been gaining global recognition.
Speaking to the Irish Mirror, pub owner Tommy Killoran said: “They had their own security on the door, people were going up and down the street wondering what was going on in Killoran’s.”
“All the extras were sitting down having their sandwiches because it was a funeral," the experienced barman said, saying the scene was very realistic.
Tommy admitted he isn't the biggest fan of the show himself,saying it's "not really my cup of tea, it's probably for young people which is fair enough".
However he hopes the global success of Normal People will be beneficial to he town.
“The pubs and businesses in the town would greatly benefit if we could get all those tours into Tubbercurry and people could come over and see where it is filmed."
“It would be fantastic, the town is crying out for something, it would be a huge boost.''
