Aloysius Ireland, County Longford Dairy farmer most of his life, but changed recently to beef, never a man to settle on any one thing, he took on the mantle of farming from his father Kevin, when he came back from travels across the world, when he was 27. Aloysius was a fitter mechanic in his early days not that far away when he was 21. Spent seven year Australia, motor mechanic fixing trucks that were on long hauls. Remembers fondly traveling twelve and half thousand miles in six days when himself and friends bought a 40 seater bus. The bus they had no use for anymore and seizing an opportunity, Aloysius had bought it for 4 thousand, and by the time he was finished, sold it for 7thousand, must have been all the dealings he saw at marts in his youth. Passed the largest farm station in Australia, that was 36 thousand sq. miles, two and half million cattle head. Spent a little time in India working for Dutch shell company, he had experience at mining from Keel mines. Sometime in Papua New Guinea, where he remembers meeting up with a gentleman from Canada that he also met in Keel mines, they shared many stouts and tales. Had a nice chat with this gentleman, and not keeping up too much of his time, no rest for the wicked he was on his way to check up on his turf.
