30. Geraghty’s Shop
This building and the one next to it were built in the early nineteenth century as a Bianconi coach house. This was the home of Tom Ffrench member of the Connacht Rangers who was killed at Gallipoli in 1915. Geraghty’s which was established in 1946 sold a cap to John Wayne who used it in the film “The Quiet Man”.

John Ffrench was killed in August 28th 1915
The Connacht ranger killed in Galipoli in April in 2015 was John Ffrench and not Tom. He did have a connection to this shop. He was an uncle of Henry Geraghty but was a resident of Galway Road. May he rest in peace
