As well as being a Galway institution for eighty years, Kenny's Bookshop is a family business for three generations and counting. Tomás Kenny is part of that third generation.
He tells Darach about the book business - battles with censors, noticing when a book has been mentioned on TV and his shop's commit to Irish language publishing.
