according to the ep sleeve i have from 1962 tommy makem claimed it was a pub on the coal quay in cork city docks! however as a cork resident i can say that the coal quay had the reputation of being the red light district of the city especially pre ww2 when the whiskey boats from paddys distelliery meant a lot of free spending american sailors in port.i think your answer is correct but you couldnt put brothel on a record sleeve in 1962! incidentally as irish stories tend to go every port in ireland from galway to dublin and even the north claimed the holy ground as their own following the smash hit it became in ireland early 60s!
