Almost a year ago to the day, the closure was announced of the former building society, First Active. By the end of 2009, hundreds of jobs had been lost, including that of Declan Horan - who used to be manager of First Active's Drumcondra branch in Dublin. Declan closed the doors for the last time in October, but recently re-opened it himself as a franchisee of the successful Munchie's chain.
