Characters series: Some of the memorable personalities who have frequented Fenor pub down through the decades
One of the old stock, the late Mikey O’Brien of Cahir Hill, Fenor, pictured relaxing with a pint of stout in the back bar of Mother McHughs in the late nineties.
A well-known and popular figure in the area, Mikey was originally from the Manachaun Hill, Kill, and worked as a farm labourer most of his days. He loved the local cards scene and nothing more than a game of thirties here in O’Mahonys. He also sang his own version of The Moon Behind The Hill, which always went down well.
Ever-cheerful and courteous, pipe-smoking Mikey was part of the furniture in Fenor and it’s hard to believe his 25th anniversary was in early 2025.
