Catriona getting back into fashion

After taking some time out from business to travel, Catriona Byrne is re-opening her boutique fashion shop in Naas on Friday, under its old name of 'Catriona's', writes Brian Byrne.

Of course, Catriona is well known to Kilcullen, as the daughter of the late Tom and Carmel Byrne, who originally established the shop as Miss Mod many decades ago. (She's also your Editor's cousin!)

In recent years, Catriona leased the shop to Michael H, but now has decided to get stuck in again herself, having satisfied — at least for the time being — her wanderlust. An avid hill walker in Ireland, she has also hiked many mountains abroad, and has done the Camino de Santiago ... twice!

She'll be stocking many favourite brands, including Libra, Personal Choice, Tia, Robell and many more.

The opening is 9.30am, Friday 19 September. Give her a big welcome back, ladies.
