VIDEO: Mart comes to a halt for Kenmare legend Eugie

His 90 years haven’t robbed the sparkle from his eyes nor the strength from his limbs, and he loves to challenge people half his age.

Eugene (Eugie) O’Sullivan bears the look of a man who has known honest toil all his days — ram-rod straight and a lean, wiry fellow not carrying an ounce of excess weight.

A drover at Kenmare Co-op Mart, in Co Kerry, and believed to be the country’s oldest livestock mart employee, he was at the centre of surprise birthday celebrations with his colleagues yesterday.
