I stumbled upon June's thread yesterday and have spent the day reading it. For non locals, ye have her clocked. I'm from the area, know the Burke & Curtin families, June was never liked but when John died everyone took pity on her and she seemed to rein in her big personality.

At the time John passed, she owned a clothes boutique in Ennis called Juniper, John invested in construction/property at the wrong time and between that going belly up and no market for very expensive clothes, rumour had it the financial stress took a hold of John. Her and the kids had an awful time after his death, that is true, she was a shadow of herself. They met in the Armada when they were late teens/early 20s, John worked as a barman, a gentleman and hard worker. They had a lavish wedding with horse drawn carriage from Miltown to the Armada.

Her brother John John has always had a great business head and is constantly improving the Armada. Although its main industrybis weddings and very few locals would go there as a venue to have dinner or night out. The other hotel, The Bellbridge gets all the locals. Her dad died from parkinsons, he was a right rougue and June is his double. Her trimmers are the very same as what her dad had and I remember hearing something that she too has parkinsons.

Her mam was the brains behind the Armada, John John takes after her. June is an 'employee' of some sorts in the Armada so gets a wage but she hasn't worked a day there since she was a youngster.

June loves attention. The more she gets the more she thrives. I avoid the beach during the daily swims when I go home for a weekend, it's such a fake community of swimmers and has ran its course.

The local Supervalu is owed by her aunt and uncle in law.
