Staff of old won’t be forgotten

A special Mass to remember the deceased employees of the Denny factory was held in St John’s Church on Friday evening followed by refreshments and plenty of stories in the Greyhound Bar.

Michael ‘Rossa’ Donovan, Tralee, was the lead organiser and was delighted that there is still so much consideration given to the former employees. “I think it’s important to remember,” he said. “The factory was such a big part of life here in the town - we had some great times there.”

“Some amazing characters worked in the factory over the years. It was a like a big family and was very important for the town,” said former Denny employee Martin Reidy.
