Kieran and Roger Cleary run a law litigation firm in Clonmel, with Kieran being a dedicated sea swimmer who trains regularly along the coast and has completed charity swims. Despite being a lawyer for 45 years, Kieran only learned how to swim at 32 years old and finds swimming to be a way to unwind and leave tension behind.
Kieran celebrated his Golden Wedding Anniversary by completing a charity swim for the RNLI, raising money for South Tipperary Hospice in honor of a friend who passed away from Motor Neurone Disease. He emphasizes the importance of respecting the sea and maintaining boundaries between work and personal life to prevent burnout, prioritizing friendships outside of his profession.
Kieran’s dedication to swimming and charity work, along with his ability to decompress from his stressful job, showcase his commitment to both his career and personal life. Despite the challenges he has faced in his legal career, Kieran remains dedicated to his family, friends, and community, finding joy in both his work and personal pursuits.
