Cork Co-operative Marts has appointed two new managers.

Denis O’Donoghue from Kilmichael takes up the role at Skibbereen and Sean Dennehy from Carrigadrohid takes over the reins at Bandon. Both have great experience and are well capable of taking a mart by the scruff of the neck and giving it a good old shake — which I think every mart needs every now and then. I wish them well and wish the former manager at both Skibbereen and Bandon, Tom McCarthy, well as he embarks on a new career.
