Kathleen Keogh marks 50 years at Naas Printing
Milestone work anniversary for Naas woman

Naas woman Kathleen Keogh (née Collins) marked a significant milestone recently.
On Friday, December 4, she had been working at Naas Printing for exactly half a century. The printworks operation at 19 South Main Street was once owned by the Leinster Leader, but has been operating autonomously since 2007.
Kathleen, originally from Our Lady s Place, Naas, and husband Michael Keogh (of Michael’s School of Motoring) are well known in the area.
“I think Kathleen was taken aback by the recognition and the presentation made to her by the company. She thought it would just be me taking a picture of her at the entrance to mark the 50th anniversary. But there was champagne, a cake, flowers as well as the presentation,” said Michael.
