Garret Dempsey

Garrett is a relative newcomer to beekeeping. He joined North Kildare Beekeepers in 2014 and spent the first year watching and learning, including attending the 8-week Spring beekeeping course. Then in 2015 he commenced as a beekeeper with native Irish honeybees and Swienty poly-hives in a small apiary along The Grand Canal. He has acted as Hon. Secretary in North Kildare since 2016, one of the largest beekeeping associations in the country (over 200 members).  
Garrett works as a Finance Director and also has experience as a director and company secretary and was delighted to join the IBAclg board as company secretary in March 2018.
