    Is this the same Fr. Kennedy that caused all that stir in Dungarvan?

    Note the sign writing on the gable end. What owner put this up?

    Pity the late Mossy Keating is not around to-day I bet he would have a fair idea!

    Nice photo.

    What year was this taken? You'd wonder why the new owners of Mayfair (now Verona Café) changed the name of it.

    Already established name for what it seems about 40 years? vs new place on the block.

    Unless of course the Mayfair name got tarnished somehow?

    They were trying to make a new start. The lad who had the Mayfair before ran it into the ground.

    Anyone yet find out who, in other words who were the owners who put the sign writing on the gable end of the above photo?

    cant remember the year of the explosion but i do remember i was attending a meeting down the quay in the then ITGWU hall, a prefab which shook with the force of the blast, we all ran up Dowds lane to see what happened, the whole building was blown upwards each floor blown up and then dumped down pushing everything into the basement, the street was strewn with the contents of the building.

    On the location of Los Vegas, Gus Bonelli had the one where Johnny Dell had the hair salon then in the 80's moved to where Nicky Delicato had the pub (Niamh's).

    Fr Kennedy - who ran his pulpit like a SWP meeting - was a Hollywood style priest in looks. Looked like an American Kennedy, in fact I think he officiated at Rose's funeral.

    They've had a sign outside the front door for the last 2 weeks at least.

    Suprised it took them so long. It was always very quiet in there at night mid week.

    Was handy for finishing shiftwork to get a few bits but yes it wouldn't have been enough to keep it open.Ah well.
