Our dear friend Oliver Hegarty died on Tuesday 11th January 2022.
Over the past 25 years, even after his health became compromised, Oliver put so much of his time, talent and labour into making the two old buildings Outhouse has occupied since 1997 into warm, safe and welcoming spaces for all.
His dedication and his accuracy are literally inscribed into the form and material of 105 Capel St, into the plaster, the wood, the paint and every detail of the place.
He welcomed everyone with equal warmth and respect and all held him in high regard. Widely known as a quiet man of few words many who knew him well will have experienced his ready wit, wisdom and great knowledge.
Oliver’s memory and presence will remain with us until we all meet again in that great café in the sky.
Outhouse will arrange and announce an event to remember our very dear friend in the near future.
