Another shop closure

This corner of town is about to see a big change. The Man's Shop, an

iconic establishment, is about to close its doors. Ned O'Sullivan's with

its colorful and inviting shopfront is one of the first sights one gets on

approaching town from the Ballybunion side.

This is the shop window today.

My photo taken a few yeas ago shows Mark Loughnane chatting to Jerry Ryan at the door of the shop.
