Late Offaly resident never forgot her Kerry roots
Reporter:
Eileen was born in Graigue, Kenmare, Co. Kerry not far from the scenic Black Valley.
The youngest daughter of Daniel and Katie Casey, she had five brothers and four sisters: Seán, Mike, Christy, Ted, Dinny, Sheila, Mary, Kathleen and Margaret.
She often reminisced about her childhood there and the simple life her family led; the killing of pigs for sausages and black pudding as well her churning the butter. They were happy times with no luxuries but her early experiences stood her well and from it she developed a steely determination and infectious sense of humour.
