Hi again Michael, When I was in Tipperary I met Michael Heffernan. He has a liquor store in the main Street that runs right through Tipperary Town. He would not be hard to find. He is very with it and knows a lot of the family I will try to find his address but the business is there and he works in the shop. He is of the Mel Gibson Heffernan line.
