Denlen Electronics: A business set up by Denis O’Sullivan in George’s Street in the early 1970s that was years ahead of its time as it involved the assembly and distribution of computer semi-conductors in Churchtown. Denis, who emigrated from Churchtown in the 1940s, had developed substantial
business interests in Toronto and his company there had been involved as a contractor on the CNN Tower. He loved Churchtown and returned regularly
until his untimely death. His daughter Gail Mortimer and her husband, Jack, who live in London are developing Denis’ original family home on George’s Street (the old RIC barracks) as a holiday home.
