Val Fitzpatrick has witnessed radical change in Mohill and the pub business over the past six decades.

A Mohill publican has been reflecting on his 64 years behind the bar in Fitzpatrick's Pub in the town - from the drink-driving clampdown, to the smoking ban, to supermarket sales of alcohol.

Val Fitzpatrick closed the pub in December after over six decades working there.
