There was a public outcry when plans for a 114-bed hotel up to nine storeys high on the North King Street site were applied for, with the Arts Council saying that what was planned "would be a significant cultural loss to the city of Dublin."

Tomás Mulligan, who grew up in the Cobblestone surrounded by the craic and the ceol, says he'll be devastated if they lose the family business.

"My first home was upstairs here. My parents met in Blackrock, just outside Dundalk in 1987. They got married and moved here. I was born in the Rotunda on Christmas Eve in 1989, the best present they ever got," he told the Irish Independent.
