      White 
	  Star Laundry 
				
			White Star laundry 1965/66 
				— with Bernie Bayden, Annette Burke, 
			Margo Slattery, Dolores Callinan, 
			Maureen Salter, Kitty Thompson, Nancy Coogan.  Maura Fitzpatrick and Mary Murphy (McGrath) 
				from John Street.
				Note from Glyn Hardwick; 
			my uncle Tommy Brennan used to drive the van in the early 1960's 
			before he became a driver for Carpenters funeral home.
				The 
				following is a Note 
				from: Rosaleen Kearns <rosthompson@eircom.net> Some of the girls from the 
					White Star laundry 1965/66
 
 The White Star Laundry was located at the bottom of Montgomery 
				Street on the corner of the Barrow Track.  It was beside Joshua 
				Watson Grain Stores.  They also had two depots in Tullow Street, 
				one opposite the Allied  Irish Bank,  (in the present Med Bar 
				premises) and the other one further down the street opposite 
				Haddens (it is now occupied by Sean Swan Electrical.)  It became 
				Celtic Laundry,  then Celtic Linen in the late 1970s I 
				believe.   It was owned by a Wexford family called Scallan.  
				Their head office was at Drinagh in Wexford which was run by 
				Sean Scallan.  His sister Alice Scallan ran the Carlow Laundry.  
				She lived in Centaur Street. The factory in Montgomery Street 
				was closed a number of years ago, and operations moved to the 
				Wexford plant.  There was meant to have been a large scale 
				hotel, shopping centre and apartments built there but the site 
				remains derelict. Ros
