WATCH: Waterford News & Star visits a County Waterford bar that's been in the same family for 145 years

Joe Walsh is one of five generations of the one family to run Micilín's Bar in Kilrossanty in Co Waterford

Nestled within the shadow of the Comeragh Mountains in one of the most picturesque areas of Waterford is the sleepy rural village of Kilrossanty.

However, within the village is a remarkable story of one family's historic links with the pub trade; a story that stretches back five generations, over 145 years.

Joe Walsh is the current proprietor of Micilin's Bar and his familial links to the pub go back to when his great-great-grandfather purchased the pub way back in 1880, in a very different Ireland.

Watch the video below as Waterford News & Star met with Joe in the village to discuss his family's association with the bar and to talk about the anniversary celebrations which will take place over this coming June bank holiday weekend.
