I was wondering if anybody knows any Irish celebrities who have worked for a retail company in Ireland before they became famous?

So far i have:

Ronan Keating - A shoe shop in Henry Street.
Cecelia Ahern - Morgan.

Any help would be appreciated.

You should start another list of former celebrities who are now working in the retail sector - "Do you want fries and an autograph with that?" :pac:

I think Colin Farrell is known more for eating there a lot rather than working in it, but I could be wrong...
