O'Sullivan's Shop Enniscorthy - The Last of a Kind

Just stumbled across this chat that I recorded back in February 2019 with Vinny O’Sullivan in his shop in Enniscorthy. ‘Vinny’s’ is one of the last old fashioned sweet shops in the town and in this 16 minute chat you learn a little bit about its history and why he opens the doors every morning.

There’s more to the chat too and I need to find it and edit it. Well worth a listen and will share Part 2 if I can find it and edit it this week. Those shops are getting rare in our towns and worth a visit if you are ever in Enniscorthy.
