The entrepreneurial landlord of Mee’s Pub in Kilkerrin, Galway, has bought and relocated the set of the iconic pub JJ Devines in Martin McDonagh’s 'The Banshees of Inisherin'. As he returns to his Irish roots, Sam Murphy visits the pub, and finds Taylor Swift rumours, miniature donkeys and a very good pint of Guinness.
