Meet the Business Owner

Michael T.

Business Owner

Michael has been a butcher for many years, beginning in his early teens and gradually working his way up the ranks, while honing his craft to exceptionally high levels. Michael regularly gives demonstrations and speaks about butchery, meat (getting value, particular cuts) and, healthy-​eating, to local interested groups (ICA, Teagasc etc.) and at schools in the locality.

Michael has only ever believed in having Irish meat, in both of our shops. We do not offer any imported meat; ever. As a result of his passion, and having built up a superb network of local farmers, who could supply the finest of meats, Michael decided to apply for Guaranteed Irish accreditation. He is delighted to be able to say that his are the only Guaranteed Irish™ butchers shops in the country.

Furthering on the success of the traditional Irish meats, Michael took an interest in raising the quality of Irish beef even more, and so developed an interest in Wagyu.
