That Was The Greystones Year That Was 2015

Classy

rom the crowning of Greystones’ Most Beautiful Baby to the retirement of our most beautiful shopkeeper, from the McDonald’s KO to The Perfect Pint, from the unearthing of incredible archive Super 8 footage to the sad passing of Vincent Byrne and the tragic passing of David Keogh, it’s been one hell of a year for Greystones.

Below, we revisit the stories that shook our world in 2015, some just tremors, some earthquakes. Through the good and the bad, Greystones continued to grow and change, but somehow, deep down, remain the same. Thankfully.
