Eugene O’Sullivan celebrating his 90th birthday at Kenmare Mart, where he began working at age 79.
Ireland’s oldest drover.
Ninety.
“He was a farm labourer, mostly, but he also delivered coal and packed wool. He was a butcher too.
“If you were stuck for a man to help with the silage, you called Eugene,He’s a great man for a day’s work. He never worries about starting or finishing time….”

What’s he doing next Saturday?
Rover.
No seriously, fair play to him. I’ll be lucky to make that age myself ! :)
“He never worries about starting or finishing time” Fair play to Eugene, but Dan sounds like a scuzzy overseer.
In the words of Shakin Stevens, “lovely stuff”.
Great Story
