Giorgio Murari
DVM
Veterinary Surgeon
Giorgio graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 1988. With decades of experience, he has dedicated much of his career to cattle medicine and herd health, bringing a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the East Limerick Vets team.
Before moving to Ireland, Giorgio worked for the National Farmers Association in Italy for many years, supporting farmers in improving livestock health and management. He later established himself as a freelance large-animal practitioner, combining clinical work with his passion for farm life.
A lifelong farmer himself, Giorgio once ran a Saanen dairy goat farm, where he personally milked his goats and produced artisan cheese from their milk. He moved to Ireland in 2019, though he still fondly remembers his loyal dog Joe and his two donkeys back home in Italy.

Aoife O'Connor Keogh
Veterinary Nursing Assistant | Receptionist
Aoife joined the East Limerick Vets team in February 2022. She comes from a dairy and beef farming background, so she’s been around animals all her life and has a real passion for looking after them.
You’ll usually find Aoife up front at reception or lending a hand with the animals behind the scenes. She loves getting to know our clients and their pets — and always makes sure everyone gets a warm welcome when they come through the door.
Outside of work, Aoife’s mad about horses and plays polocrosse whenever she can. At home, she’s kept busy with her own furry crew — a dog, a few cats, and a rabbit.
