Monty Franks - Coláiste Phobal's Roscrea's beloved caretaker - retires after 25 years


After two and a half decades of service beyond the call of duty, Monty is retiring
Coláiste Phobal reached a milestone last week as long serving caretaker, Monty Franks retired from his post.
Monty served as caretaker since the school opened in 1999. From caretaking duties, to badminton, to plumbing, decoration and IT, Monty could turn his hand to it all.
An ardent Offaly supporter and a wonderful colleague to have - staff, students and management are sorry to see him go and wish him a long happy and adventure filled retirement.
“Thank you for everything Monty”, Coláiste Phobal said.
