CHARLIE’S bar at Kerins O’Rahillys clubhouse was hopping on Wednesday night as both friends and customers turned up in their droves to say goodbye to Tom and Eileen O’Shea on their last night spent working behind the bar.

Tom, a native of Conahy, Co. Kilkenny, married Eileen Lynch from Foilmore and the couple moved up to the county capital from south Kerry over 30 years ago and became part of the Kerins O’Rahillys family.

It was an emotional night for them and the club left Tom and Eileen in no doubt of how much they will be missed, sending them off with well wishes for the future. Scroll down for photos…
