Company History
In the mid 1930’s, Morrisseys was established in Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, by Dan Morrissey, a senior politician in Ireland for 35 years.
In 1946, with a general practice well established, the Company moved to Dublin, encouraged by several prominent members of the Dublin Licensed Trade.
Dan was joined by his two sons, Tony and Liam and they formed a new Company named Daniel Morrissey & Sons Ltd.
The Company made fast progress and became the leading Auctioneers, Valuers and Advisers to the Licensed Trade concentrating on mainly the Greater Dublin Area.
In 1956, Dan Morrissey was succeeded by his son Tony, who further expanded the Firm, which resulted in the Company being involved in the sale and valuation of most of the important Licensed Premises in the Greater Dublin Area.
Tony Morrissey became President of The Irish Auctioneers & Valuers Institute (I.A.V.I.) in 1973, a position previously held by his father Dan in 1952.
In 1983, Tony Morrissey Jnr., joined the Company, with a BSc from Trinity College, Dublin, and became a member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors in Ireland.
He was subsequently joined by his brother Bill in 1987, with a Diploma in Auctioneering, Valuation and Estate Agency from the College of Technology in Bolton Street Dublin and became a member of The Irish Auctioneers & Valuers Institute (I.A.V.I.).
Both served their apprenticeship under their father Tony, and subsequently in 1993 they took over the company from him.
Both Bill and Tony have continued and expanded on the traditions of the Company, which is a small practice specialising in all aspects of licensed related property including public houses, hotels and restaurants, providing a comprehensive, professional, personalised service with the back-up of a most modern, extensive computerised database and knowledge of over 60 years experience in this sector, with over 775 sales concluded, many of which have been sold two or three times.
