Carlow Connects | Ep. 17
My next guest is a well-known face in business circles in Carlow and beyond. He’s also a voice you’ll hear regularly on the radio commentating on GAA matches, so if you’ve ever roared at your kitchen radio on a Sunday, chances are it was him you were roaring at. Bernard Horohan of Tile N’ Style, Carlow!
He was part of the management team that guided O’Hanorans to the Junior A championship recently, beating my own club, Palatine, in the final. They say if you want something done, ask a busy person, and he’s no exception. He sits on the board of Club Carlow, alongside David Walsh, the funding and support group that keeps Carlow GAA going. But his support doesn’t stop at the GAA. Whether it’s other sports, local teams or initiatives right across the county, chances are his name is on the jersey or behind the project. And if you’re heading to Netwatch Cullen Park on match day, you’ll spot the little Smart car parked outside the grounds, covered in Tile N’ Style branding. It’s the most efficient advertising in Carlow: tiny car, huge presence. You’ll know he’s in the house.
He’s also dedicated to Manchester United, which is where we part ways. As an ABU, I’ve had the pleasure of a few trips away with him, and I can confirm he’s far better company than his taste in football would suggest. When you walk into his Shamrock Business Park in Graiguecullen, you get the feel of a real family business, with plenty of familiar faces working alongside him. That’s no accident, and it’s exactly what we’re here to talk about.
