FAMILY BUSINESS

Great interview by Thomas Kearney, third generation of the Kearney family, in the Irish Times with Russ Parsons. Russ commented how there’s always one of the Kearney’s behind the counter, either Thomas, his Mam Bea, Tom senior, or Thomas’s daughter Layla, the fourth generation working after school. Tom’s grandfather opened the shop in 1960 and there was lots of virtual hugs and love shown for the Kearney family from our De La Salle Family on our social media pages this week. Best Wishes to all the Kearney family.
