O'Farrell's Bandon

Mary O 'Riordan opened O'Farrell's on the 3rd sept 1904. She hailed from Cork and in 1906 she married Simon O'Farrell, from Dublin. They had 3 children-Richard, Victor and Kathleen. Victor married Eileen Murphy from Butlerstown and they took over the family business. They had 7 children, Fay, Kevin, Pat, Eugene, Barry, Clare and Alannah.

In 1968 when Victor passed away Barry took over the Family business. He met and married Mary Murphy from Cork in 1973 and they had 4 daughters- Victoria, Hilary, Clodagh and Jean.

The business diversified over the years and has sold a varied range of products since it first started trading in 1904. Today the tradition continues with their daughter Hilary and her husband John at the helm, proudly carrying the shop into its fourth generation, along with their 3 daughters Monica, Pearl and Violet. O'Farrell's is a family run business and is so proud of being a part of the Bandon Community.
