Local Carlow shop celebrates 100 years in business before closing its doors later this year

Local County Carlow business, PJ Duffy, has recently celebrated the huge milestone of being in business for 100 years. An incredible achievement given the struggles businesses face to stay open for 1 year never mind hitting the 100 mark.

The drapery shop, located in Tullow, County Carlow, celebrated the huge milestone before they will be closing their doors for a final time in April.
