The death has taken place of John Doyle, (87), of Doyle’s Bar, The Duffry, Enniscorthy, who was a well-known member of the Licensed Vintners’ Association.
John grew up in the famed licensed premises of his parents, Joe and Brigid Doyle, and worked at Enniscorthy Post Office for many years, but when his father passed away John and his sister Mary ran the pub and on reaching retirement John concentrated fully on running of the popular meeting place for generations of customers.
There was always a strong family and customer relationship within the premises where sports and family celebrations were occurring on a regular basis. Strangely, it was always referred to locally as ‘Joe Doyles’.
