Cork 'de-cluttering' consultant Vera Keohane says Marie Kondo’s clear-outs make sense

Cork woman Vera Keohane is now Ireland’s first certified Konmari consultant. She tells Caroline Delaney why Marie Kondo’s clear-outs make sense.

A birthday getaway to New York wouldn’t normally involve booking into a course on tidying — but that’s exactly what Corkwoman Vera Keohane did.

The course run by Marie Kondo, the internationally renowned organising guru, so inspired Vera that she actually qualified as Ireland’s first certified Konmari consultant and is now devoting a good chunk of her time to helping others swamped by clutter achieve calm and order.
