Your Hosts the Connolly
Family
The name 'The Sheds' refers back to
the old fishing village of Clontarf and is just part of the rich heritage of this pub.
Granted its licence in 1845 its first owner was James Mooney, creator of the mooney Pub
empire. In 1882 John Clinton acquired the premises and in the Autumn of 1927 Peter
Connolly a native of Monaghan bought 'The Sheds'.
This was
just he beginning of the Connolly
pub dynasty, which 70 years on is now preparing for the new millenium through the third
generation of Connollys; Peter, Gerry and Dave, guided by the family patriarchs; Peter,
Thomas and Robert in the tradition of their late father Peter. On a good day at the Sheds
you can meet up to 8 members of the Connolly family at this renowned family
pub. Long may it continue.
