My father trained took me on as an apprentice carpenter when i was growing up in the Punjab region of India. I lived in a big house there, but my family was not wealthy and the areas around me started to get run-down and unsafe. There was no need for carpenters in India. So I moved to Ireland in 2003 business was booming and I worked as a carpenter for 5 years until the start of the recession. I bought a house, became
an official citizen, by then I had decided to open my own shop on Moore Street.
The Irish are the most hospitable people I know. Ireland is very different to Punjab,but I know Dublin as my first home.
Visit Japal's Shop: 25 Moore Street, Dublin 1.
