O'gormans, THURLES, Tipperary

Pub trading at ‘The Monks’ public house, goes back to just after the Great Famine period in Irish History, around 1860, with the basic structure today little changed, except for essential maintenance down through the years. A larger, very comfortable extension was added on to the original structure in recent years stretching out to the boundaries of an area known locally, for generations, as “The Monks Field,” and despite the name P.O’Gorman clearly displayed over the door, the pub has become known as ‘The Monks.‘
