Carmel retires from Rochforts... again!

The Nally family and staff of Rochforts, Dominick Street, Mullingar, gathered last week to mark the retirement of one of their longest serving and best known employees.

Carmel Heneghan, a native of Inchicore, had served nearly 29 years with the Nally family and will be fondly remembered by all who frequent the premises for her friendly and gregarious character.

Tom Nally Snr remarked that Carmel had a word for everyone and thanked her for her dedication throughout her employment. He also quipped that this was third time lucky as Carmel had "retired" twice before! Carmel will be fondly missed by both staff and customers of Rochforts Mullingar.
