A DYING IRISH TRADITION!

This is Hogan's store and bar in the tiny Tipperary village of Grange, the proprietor is my cousin Josephine. Jo took over the business when her father Tom (my Dad's brother) passed away. Hogan's has been serving the local community for many years and although places like this once dotted the Irish countryside, it’s a traditional feature that's fast disappearing from Ireland's rural idyll. This kind of establishment is known as a ‘spirit grocery’ and until the arrival of supermarkets and grocery chain stores, every community in Ireland had one. It was common to have a pub with a grocery, hardware or other ancillary business all on the same premises. In some cases they were undertakers too!

So if you ever find yourself in South Tipperary, do drop in and see Josephine. Go through to the bar and order a pot of tea, a Guinness or a whiskey, pick up a little something from the shop for your journey and let's help keep this Irish tradition alive!

To find it on your GPS, the eircode (postcode/zipcode) E41 A2W5 will get you there. 🥰

UPDATE
We have very sad news … today some mindless thugs removed our new defibrillator from its case and threw it on the ground in the rain … there are no words to say how we feel.. only it’s a criminal offence and now in the hands of An Garda and fingers prints are being taken… we will find out who is responsible.. CCTV is now going up and what can we say.. we are only volunteers trying to help save someone’s life it could be anyone in our families… we will have it back up when checked out and can promise to continue doing our best for the community.. any one with information please come forward… don’t let the thugs win
Thanks 😢

New defibrillator is now installed and placed on the community house, thanks to all who gave donations and helped raise the funds needed and also to Tipperary Co Council Leader grant for their support ….Thanks to Harry Hayes Electrical for the prompt installation, great to have this life saving device back in our community. Plans to run a course on using the defibrillator will be organised soon and open to all who would like to take the opportunity to take part…..an update of same will be posted here….
