They were singing in the rain and making new friends as hundreds queued to get the last servings from Jackie Lennox’s chip shop in Cork City on Sunday.

With less than two hours to go to the final closing at 9pm, sisters Rose Ryan from Togher and Florence West from Deerpark were in happy form as they got their last supper from the shop for themselves and their 85-year-old mother. The women grew up on Noonan’s Road and Rose had also queued on Saturday to get one of her last servings at the chip shop.
