Historic Day today. Some 52 years ago John and Ellen Fitzpatrick arrived in Shannonbridge from Mountmellick and set up business. Two years later the this business incorporated the Post Office for the village and has remained there since.
John and Helen's son Liam and his wife Kaye returned from working in England in 1978 to take over the business and have been there since.Last year the business was put up for sale and Richard Brown from Drumraney purchased it. Today Richie officially takes over the business from Liam and Kaye.
Wishing Liam Kaye and Richard best wishes for the future. Don not worry Lorraine - Liam and Kaye will be still helping Richie settle in and get to know people for the next few weeks and will then live in their home on the Cloghan Road.
