Timmy McCarthy celebrates half a century on the road for Dero’s
Timmy McCarthy celebrated 50 years of service with Dero's Tours with a special gathering at the Grand Hotel.
Timmy started working with Dero’s in 1973.
Dero’s have specialised in coach charter for years, providing quality passenger transportation for private and corporate clients.
It is one of the most iconic and well-known Killarney-based businesses.
“His first task of his long career was the driver of the wedding car for a local couple. He passed with flying colours and worked his way up from 14 seater to the larger coaches as the business grew over the years. He loved meeting tourists and his local knowledge, found many returning and requesting the young good looking, tall driver as their guide. He loved the Ring of Kerry Route but was no easy task as the roads were very daunting and rugged along the way,” said company founder Michael ‘Dero” O’Sullivan.
Catherine and Michael Dero along with Denis Spillane presented Timmy with a Waterford Crystal trophy to mark his distinguished career in the tourism business.
Timmy said he has no intention of retiring from Dero’s any day soon.
“With all the roads that I travelled over the decades, one of my favourite places is West Kerry, Dingle. This destination is beautiful with breathtaking views along The Wild Atlantic Way,” he said.
Glenflesk GAA hosts cardiac screening clinic
