Dot said: "he was the first to have a lounge bar where females could drink with the men. That was in 1939 ... His Dad bought what is now Kielys in Donnybrook for him. It was in a terrible mess. ... He completely modernized the bar & made a lounge bar so that women could also come in and socialize with the men. His Father thought he was mad and told him so. Well as you know it turned out to be the coming thing, just Jack was a bit too early." Jack is still listed as running the pub in [Thom's, 1945]. The pub was bought by Gerry Kiely in 1945.
