This was around the same time that Father Matthew (as he was known) started the "no drinking" campaign. T. This kept her business alive until the effects of the campaign had worn off. Nicholas and Catherine had several children and Maurice, as the oldest, was heir to the business. He married Georgina Flood, an orphan in the Harold’s Cross Orphanage. It was to the knowledge of the family that her guardians had spent all her money and owing to this, she became an orphan. He was responsible for bringing the water into Terenure. The business was run successfully for many years by Robert and George and in 1938 they established a pub on Sundrive Road. Several cinemas followed.

Maisie McIntyre's NewsagentsMaisie McIntyre inherited her business from her Aunt, whom owned the shop when Maisie was a girl. She took over when her Aunt died. The shop was situated beside the Tram Depot. For the convenience of the tram workers and other "early birds", she would always open at approximately 06.20. The shop had once been a Sheebeen, before Maisie’s Aunt started her business.
The DairiesIn the beginning, there were seven dairies in Terenure, Patrick Nolan’s (father of George and Tony Nolan whom later inherited the business) Clifton Dairy, George Gallagher’s (father of Denis Gallagher) Glendhu Dairy, Simon Kenny’s Mountainview Dairy, Billy Kavanagh’s Eaton Dairy, Wade’s Dairy, Harry Lambe’s Dairy and MacMillan’s Dairy, which was next-door to the Presentation Convent. Nolan’s Dairies kept their cows in Terenure and delivered milk as far as Milltown, Wexford Street, Drimnagh and Inchicore. The cows were milked at 4 o’clock in the morning, sometimes even at twelve o’clock at night. The milk was delivered at 7.30 a.m. The first silage was brought from Collinstown, now Dublin Airport. All seven dairies were shut down in 1963 due to a law that was passes saying that all milk had to be pasteurised. It was not feasible to pasteurise milk because the major dairies were on to it. Despite this, they did not lose out financially, selling their milk to Hughes Dublin Dairies.
