    Hello
    I'm wondering what ever happened to the Robinson Bros Cabinet Makers in Milltown Co Cavan??
    They were in the series Hands back in 1980 I think.
    I was looking at the film on them yesterday and wondered is the business still going?

    I remember that programme.
    There's no mention of them online, I'd guess they 'retired'.I'd love to hear what happened to the business.

    The three bros died within the space of a few years. The last died about 2.5 years ago. I really am saddened to hear this and the business is gone aswell.
    I worked at reproduction many moons ago and would have loved to have spoken to these Bros..:(
