OK, it's not that funny a story - or maybe more an extremely dark funny story, as anyone who has seen Martin McDonagh's acclaimed film The Banshees of Inisherin can attest. But now the pub where much of the film's action was set has been saved from the scrapheap by a publican on a mission. Film buffs and tourists can sample a pint in JJ Devine's pub, where Colin, Brendan and Jenny all strutted their actorly stuff when filming the Oscar-nominated film, which has been rebuilt in County Galway. Devine's had a long trip on a lorry, being moved from Achill Island where the film was shot to Kilkerrin where publican Luke Mee, of Mee's pub, is keeping the seats warm for movie lovers across the world. Although, bearing in mind the film's plot, hopefully no-one will be repeating to their friends the line of Gleeson's character Colm: "I just don't like you no more."

When it was declared a wrap, the actors exited and Achill went back to normal. But after the film became a huge hit, there were questions about JJ Devine's. Some people thought it would be an interesting place to enjoy a pint. Some thought you might even make a pilgrimage to the bar.
