Th butcher: In 1892, having received a bad cut of meat from a local butcher, Callaghan McCarthy put away his dough hook and opened the now-legendary McCarthy s of Kanturk. His descendants, the ebullient Jack McCarthy and his son Tim - the fifth-generation butcher in situ - are as enterprising as their antecedent. Standing at the front door of our shop on Main Street, Kanturk, at the height of the first Covid lockdown, it hit me that no other door was open or trading on our street. Two lockdowns later, we re in the same position. Footfall has fallen dramatically. A decade of hard work carving out a niche within the food service trade with our breakfast products was closed en masse. We were hit hard, says Jack.
