Treacy's pub and restaurant is one of the most famous
landmarks on the road from Dublin to Cork. This thatched premises was
established in 1780 and has been in the same family ever since. In fact
it is the oldest pub in Ireland still owned by the same family.
The Treacy children come to our school.
This pub was once owned by Mr Meehan M.P. He sold it
to the Poole family who eventually sold it to the Whelan family and
it is now owned by the Heenans. It used to be known as 'The Thatch',
but nowadays it is usually called 'Francie's'.
