The Story of Dr. Brendan O’Regan
Making a Name for Himself
Dr. Brendan O’Regan was born 15 May 1917 in Sixmilebridge, County Clare. The son of James O’Regan and Nora Ryan, he attended Sixmilebridge National School before going on to Blackrock College for his secondary education.
Brendan studied in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Britain, and in 1938 he returned to manage the catering at one of his father’s hotels. Here, senior civil servants were regular guests, and the caterer’s energy and verve soon caught their attention. He was asked to manage the St. Stephen’s Green Club in Dublin, which had been ailing for some time, and he successfully turned it into a profitable operation.
