the exhibition will include lots of memorabilia, including original urney chocolates and even former urney managing director redmond gallagher’s racing car. it’s sure to bring back plenty of memories !
made in ireland by urney chocolates, cutlery road, newbridge, co kildare. branded under the cleeves brand name .
“the only way to obtain a commercial quota was to diversify into sweet making. eileen adapted and urney chocolates was born. ”
while now based in newbridge, kildare, urney chocolates began life in 1919 as a cottage industry in the home of clady couple eileen and harry gallagher .
urney chocolates moved to a disused raf airfield while some of the original staff, including 25 female employees, a carpenter and two maintenance men, also relocated .
originally located in county tyrone, urney chocolates moved to the disused raf airfield on the belgard road in tallaght in 1923 where the business prospered for over sixty years .
in 1950s ireland, urney chocolates was a household name. a favourite for any sweet tooth was the urney two and two bar. a unique creation with a double fondant filling, coated with plain chocolate on top and milk chocolate on the bottom. each of the nine cream - filled squares were embossed with the legendary urney leprechaun .
south dublin libraries is delighted to present an exhibition sweet memories: the story of urney chocolates at the county library, tallaght from monday 23 rd august until saturday 19 th september .
while clearly the urney chocolates name has become a big business and profit pawn, the story of how it began life in the quiet cellar of a clady residence remains little short of remarkable .
“urney chocolates came about after eileen started making jam in her kitchen. there was a lot of unemployment in the area at the time so she started to look at ways of creating jobs .
the urney leprechaun made its debut in 1919 when eileen and harry gallagher first ventured into the confectionery business. over 40 years later and a move south to tallaght, co. dublin, urney chocolates and its subsidiaries were employing almost 1, 000 workers. at that time it was considered one of the largest chocolate factories in europe, a far cry from its modest beginnings in the parish of urney, co. tyrone. this beautifully illustrated book tells the captivating tale of the rise and fall of urney chocolates and offers a fascinating slice of irish social history .
urney chocolates limited was set up on 18 nov 1957 and has its registered office in dublin 11. its current status is listed as
dissolved
. it had 0 directors at the time it closed .
karen nolan is the great grand - daughter of eileen and harry gallagher and she has penned ‘sweet memories – the story of urney chocolates’. as part of her research for the book she visited strabane and the original factory site .
an unlikely success story from the first world war, the demand for urney chocolates rapidly grew. two years into the business though and disaster struck. a fire in the basement reduced the house and makeshift manufacturing plant to ash .
looked at this site because i have an amazing urney marshmallow tin from maybe 50, s 60, s belonging to my family from kimmage, no big inheritance just my lovely urney tin and fantastic memories of dublin .
karen nolan, a graphic designer and illustrator living in county wexford (and great grand daughter of the founders of urney chocolates), has researched and curated the exhibition. her research will be published in a new book, also called sweet memories: the story of urney chocolates, which will be launched, along with the exhibition, at the county library on thursday 26 th august at 7: 00 p. m. in addition, an oral history project undertaken by south dublin libraries, whereby the stories and memories of ex - urney employees were recorded will also be launched on the night .
thanks, joan don’t know how this error crept in – urney chocolates was the largest chocolate factory in europe during the 1960s and finally closed its doors in august 1980. i’ve made the necessary change. thanks for bringing it to our attention. kieran
earlier this week owner of urney chocolates, leo cummins, hinted that he is preparing to begin turning out two and twos once again. and if manufacturing does go ahead, it would mean a tasty trip down memory lane for thousands of chocolate lovers .
ah well i remember urney chocks. as a child of eight i was glued to the old bush radio on saturdays to listen to the the urney program and dantro the planet man; i was a member of dantro the planet man urney club. sure rip it up jamser didn’t hold a candle to dantro as far as i was concerned; sorry maurene .
new york based company w & r grace bought urney’s out in 1963 and sold it on to unilever in 1970. leo cummins has since acquired the urney chocolates brand name and has to date relaunched wilton macaroon bars, cleeves toffees and hadji bey’s turkish delight. and if whispers coming out of the plant are to be believed, the two and two could be back on the shelves shortly .
as the popularity of urney chocolates grew, the gallagher’s moved their fledgling business to a nearby factory premises before shifting it to dublin. at the height of its popularity in the 1960’s the company employed over 1, 000 people and was considered the largest chocolate factory in europe .
what a great find! i’m the granddaughter of harry & eileen gallagher, this has filled me in on what happened after urney passed out of the family. what became of the site, and urney house where they used to live? torn down, i suppose 😦
undeterred though, eileen moved her business to the grounds of urney house where she continued to produce confectionery until in 1922 fate struck again .
an exhibition detailing the history of the urney chocolate factory which was located in tallaght. exhibition on display from 21st august to 25th september .
hi, i worked in urney’s, i feel i must correct the date of closure! i was married in 1972, still worked in urney’s. i was still there during 72 until i left later in the year. loved the place by the way, some fun time memories .
unilever, owner of walls ice cream, acquired the entire enterprise in 1976. concentrating on hb ices, unilever continued to make confectionery under the name of hb chocolates. however in the face of increased competition, sales dropped considerably and hb chocolates closed its doors for the last time in 1980 with 300 employees on the payroll .
the fact that findlaters was faltering was not a secret, and predators were circling the camp. inquiries for the company came fast and furious: in august 1961 from louis elliman for the properties, in november 1961 from urney’s chocolates, presumably to diversify, and in february 1962 from our long term competitors, liptons. †
urney chocolate factory was situated on the belgard road in tallaght (in the old aerodrome buildings) from the 1920s, through its high point in the 1960s when urney chocolates was the largest chocolate factory in europe until it eventually closed in august 1980. it was a household name in ireland at the time and was a massive employer in the area. an exhibition entitled ‘sweet memories’ which tells the story of urney’s was on show in the irish agricultural museum in wexford earlier this year, and will be on view in the county library in tallaght in may 2010. this delightful exhibition was curated and illustrated by karen nolan, whose great grandparents founded the company way back in the early 1900s .
through wwii the firm continued to prosper until in 1950 harry gallagher retired. harry and eileen continued to live on the urney site in tallaght and did so for the rest of their lives .
all the surviving machinery from the factory at urney was hauled 160 miles and new equipment was bought to make chocolate. the irish army remained on the site for about six months while the factory was established .
i remember the urney’s radio show with gay byrne. he presented some kind of space show called dantro. i sent for my dantro package and was enrolled in the group. my uncle bill clarke worked at urney’s in tallaght for a number of years and i remember he drove a borgward car. he left ireland in the early seventies and moved to england with his sons and my favorite cousins pat and billy .
by 1963 the urney chocolates factory was using 30, 000 gallons of milk and 50, 000lbs of sugar daily. to accommodate expansion and prepare for entry into the common market, a total of £500, 000 was invested into the modernisation of the tallaght factory over the course of three years. a new three - unit plant was officially opened at tallaght in june 1965 by then taoiseach, sean lemass. the entire factory now spanned 350, 000 square feet .
yvonne i’ve been speaking with a lady pat o’neill who worked in urneys. she remembers a nancy gilsenan from bluebell who worked there and who probably cycled to tallaght every day to work. she cannot remember what part of the urney operation she worked in. kieran
thanks for your comment! i’m afraid you’re right – the house is no longer there and there is a retail park on the site of the factory. we have some photos and ephemera items relating to urney in our online archive that you might also be interested in – urltoken
hello people! !! my mother remembers nancy gilsenan who worked in urney in the ‘packing’ dept. packing the delicate sweets into boxes………. . my mother is teasie mccann now redmond who cycled from terenure to tallaght everyday, hail, rain or snow. and if they got a puncture on the way, their wages were docked……. . no excuses. the memory my mother has is the shock she got when she first saw and had to use a dry - toilet in urney………. that was so - so - so many years ago! !! !
i used to work for urney’s from 1953 – 1958 in the factory during this period all the chocolates were hand - wrapped. in approximately 1956 or 1957 i was selected to represent the company in an advertising campaign when urneys’ introduced its first automatic wrapping machine and was asked to stand in a shop window in o’connell street while loading candies into the automatic wrapping machine; the owner of the company mr gallagher would then hand out free samples to customers. this was my first job out of school; i have lovely memories of this fun experience and am wondering if in your history collection if you may have a copy of the newspaper articles that ran that week or the poster that i was in advertising the machine and urneys’s candies and if i might obtain a copy? thank you for your time and assistance. mary mcdermott (née) o’brien
nancy gilsenan, that was my mother! ! her given name was theresa, but everyone called her nancy. oh my goodness! ! would your friend happen to have any pictures of her? my mom passed away and we have no pictures of her when she was young. she spoke all the time of loving her job at urney’s. we came here to america in 1953, but mom never got over being homesick, she always wanted to go back .
we also have urney marshmallow tins my mm used to say they were the most airtight tins. sadly she passed away she was a great cook and must have used a lot of marshmallows and chocolate for her cakes and biscits she baked we stiil use the tins 1 has gone to canada, especially for the christmas cake. it is lovely to be reading about the factory, the people working there and the connections. i never realized it was in tallaght. great blog and very intersting well done .

hazelbrook confectionery ltd cutlery road, newbridge, co kildare, w12 ad85, ireland .
it began life right here in strabane back in 1918 and for decades was the chocolate bar choice of children across ireland .
now the classic confectionery two and two bar could be on its way back .
speaking this week, karen said she remained immensely proud to be part of such a fascinating slice of irish social history .
“it was 1918, the end of the war, and sugar was scarce .
a war of a different kind came to their rescue though – the irish civil war. following partition, grants and tax breaks for small businesses were much more favourable in the newly formed irish free state, prompting the gallaghers to shift their operations to tallaght in dublin .
in 1975 harry gallagher passed away at 95 - years - old. his wife eileen passed away a year later at 89 - years - old .
it brought to an end a hugely colourful story of how a little cottage industry grew to be a global force, surviving the partition of a nation, a world war, and the troubles .
karen said, “it is a fantastic story. i originally wanted to write my great grandmother’s story because she initiated most of it .
“harry often gets the credit but it was really eileen who started it all. she travelled the world at a time when people didn’t do that sort of thing. she introduced the first white turkey to ireland from holland .

* update * to coincide with the national heritage week the exhibition will now run at the county library from 21st august until 25th september 2010 .
looking forward to this exhibition, my dad worked there in the early days, and he has very happy memories of that time. could i suggest that this event be also advertised in the tallaght echo, as i am sure there are lots of local people out there with good stories to tell of their time working there – but they may not hear about this exhibition or your call for their input. thanks .
my mother worked there in the 1930s or 40s. her name was theresa gilsenan. we came to live in america in 1953. my mother has since passed, i live in upstate new york and would love to find a picture of this chocolate factory my mother spoke of so fondly. does anyone remember my mother or have a picture ?
your mother remembers my mother? (nancy gilsenan). would she have any pictures at all of the time they worked there? were they friends? my mother always spoke of urneys and all the people she loved there. she never got over being homesick when we came to america .
my father was the sales rep for urneys out in the far east in the early 1960s .
when we were clearing out the attic in my mothers house in dublin a few years ago, we came across lots of papers of my father’s, including references to sales out in singapre for example. interesting stuff .
my mother worked here and she told me she loved her job. she also said lifting the trays was the hardest part. anyway! great products .
anyone remember jim kelly who worked on the weighbridge in urneys. jim only had one arm. also his wife elsie worked in the piping room. i lived in tallaght in the 60’s and remember the smell of the chocolate wafting down through the village. also the sound of the factory horn which was a great reminder of the time of the day .
my mother’s sister kitty kenny from peamount worked there in the 1930’s / 1940’s. another sister margaret (pidge) might have been there too. great stories from my childhood days .
