Owen O’Riordan is the mans name. He lived in Ivale, and was an uncle to PaddyJoe Riordan Killowen (at who’s home he passed away some 10-12 years ago). He was a good character, a fierce card player, and liked his trip to the pub every now and again.
Indeed that very picture became a postcard and was spread all around the world at the time.

The pub that this picture was taken in was McCarthys Pub

This is james here Just to say that pic is a man known locally as ‘Eoiny Dom’ His full name is Eoin Dominic Riordan from Ivale, Kilcorney He was a bachelor all his life, loved to joke, loved his pint, loved to talk. He worked on our farm for many years. He was a real handyman on the farm and could turn his hand at any job. He is dead id say 12-15years now.
