Batt Twomey 1929-2020 - An Appreciation

It was with regret that we note the passing recently of one of the last men to manage a mart during its heyday of the 1960’s.
Batt Twomey, the face of Kilkenny Mart for 28 years from 1968 to 1996 went to his eternal reward.
Eldest of a family of 12, Batt was born into a farming family at Coolfada, near Bandon in County Cork in 1929, the year of The Wall Street Crash. Even in the dark days of the 20s, dairying and involvement in the Co-op Movement were important to the family, his father being on the committee of Bandon Creamery. This tradition was continued by his brother Donie, and his nephew Jeremiah is currently involved with Bandon Creamery.
