Mr. Frank Toomey

Mr. Frank Toomey , Proprietor of the Seacliff Hotel, was born at Adare, in County Limerick, Ireland, in 1877. He was educated in the Christian Brothers' School, and at the Training College for teachers, and subsequently held an appointment in the Industrial School at Killbegs, County Donegal. In 1893, however, he sailed for South Africa, where, at Capetown, he entered the Government service as a member of the police force. There he remained two years, and then came on to New Zealand. For two years after his arrival in Dunedin he assisted his brother, then licensee of the Shades Hotel, in Dowling Street, and in June, 1903, he took over the Seacliff Hotel.
