After 25 years at Killarney Credit Union you'd think nothing would surprise them - but two staff members were left pleasantly shocked when colleagues acknowledged their years of hard work.

Brendan Lynch and Therese Buckley are two long standing staff members which the public have come to know and love, and both are celebrating 25 years of service.

Staff at the credit union made a surprise presentation in recognition of their service and dedication on Friday last. 

​​​Brendan began working in Killarney Credit Union in November 1995 whilst Therese began in June 1996. Both are now Team Leaders and Senior Loan Officers in Killarney Credit Union.

Through their time there they have become an invaluable asset to the team and the company.

They are widely known and respected by the many members that come into the Killarney branch, according to Mark Murphy, CEO.

“Their dedication to the members is exemplary," he said.

"As long as I know Therese and Brendan I am aware of how highly they are regarded by the members. Their work and professionalism is second to none. It is not often we get to say thank you, and we were delighted with the opportunity to say a huge thank you to Brendan and Therese. We wish them many more years of happiness and health in Killarney Credit Union."
