Like S2821 Kingswood Lodge, a recent writeup, this is a suburban-pub-with-parking which has reopened after the complete redevelopment of its site with apartments. Although this time, it looks like relatively little has actually gone on top of the pub unit itself.

Indeed, looking at Streetview I'm beginning to wonder if some of the actual core of the pub was retained, as there is no shot where its a completely empty site... and certain features of the pub inside have definitely been salvaged from before, like branded mirrors, doors, older tables and so on.
And the layout inside is a bit, well, weird too - there's what looks like a door from outside, but has tables across it; and its a bit tight around the bar area.
Odd layout and questions about just how demolished it was, this is a perfectly normal suburban pub. Formerly themed as "The Colosseum", it is now thankfully just the type of pub you'd expect to have in any similar part of Dublin.
Regardless of whether it was demolished or just built-around, it is clearly possible to not have to entirely eradicate this type of suburban pub; and this would have been a pub desert without it - until the Cuckoos Nest reopens (planned for late 2024) there really is nothing even vaguely nearby.
