Joe Sweeney Announces His Retirement
Greystonians with the announcement today that Joe Sweeney is going to hang up his chipper apron 
for good.“I’m going to miss being here every single day, but, it’s always been hard work, and I’m just not getting any younger. Also, I’m feckin’ tired of chips,
chips, chips…”Looking particularly well for a man long past retirement age – Greystones, brace yourselves for that 90th bash – Joe Sweeney can be forgiven for needing a little quiet time after all these years of serving the town’s tired
and hungry.The plan is, with nine months of uninterrupted choreography and rehearsal now
ahead of him, Joe’s new one-man dance performance inspired by his trademark curry chips, entitled Fire In The Hole, will debut at The Whale next Christmas. It’s going to be emotional. previous post

An icon Joe will be missed I moved 2 Greystones 40 yrs ago and remember meeting Joe my dad and him became good friends and as a teenager Joe was a familiar face in his pool hall a lot of my teens most in fact were spent at Joe’s with my friends back in the day we always knew we were safe hanging out in Joe’s and so did our parents a lot of wonderful memories there enjoy your retirement Joe
A sad, sad day indeed. When just about everyone in Greystones misses the simple clues. Such as the whole spiel about Joe taking up interpretative dance. And his talk of being feckin’ tired of “chips, chips, chips”. Oh, and the fact that it’s April 1st, of course.
Joe will be missed & his wonderful food! Enjoy the retirement!
Great business plan for someone to set up a dog friendly cafe in Sweeneys!
So odd that he would choose April Fool’s Day, of all days, to announce his retirement…
