Paddy Brennan said fairwell to the Talbot Wexford after 48 years of dedicated service, on Monday 6th April , 2009. Many family, friends and work colleagues were in attendance to celebrate this special occassion.
Paddy bagan his working career in July 1961 at thirteen and a half years of age as a bottle boy while on his summer holidays little did he know that 48 years later he would be leaving the hotel as Head Concierge.
Within in seven months of starting at the Talbot, Paddy was promoted to Junior Porter a position he took over from his brother Tony who left to travel to England.
Over the years Paddy has welcomed many people through the doors of the Talbot Hotel including the Presidents of Ireland, Taoiseachs and personalities such as singers Sandy Shaw, Adam Faith, Tom Jordan, Jim Begley, filmaker Godfrey Quigley, Christopher Plummer, Sir Robert Alford, Lord Dunmore, to name but a few.
While working at Talbot Wexford, Paddy met his wife-to-be, Gretta in 1972 while she was a waitress in the Grill Bar who were then married in 1974. Paddy and Gretta now have three children, Tommy, Patrick and Kevin who have also all worked at the Talbot Hotel.

We wish Paddy, Greta and family all the very best in the future from all at the Talbot Wexford.
