EARLEY & EARLEY & amp; CO. As such it survived for many years. At some later date a Mr Murray, sub-manager of the Northern Bank in the South Circular Road, Dublin, became a financial partner. At around the same time John Bishop Earley suffered a stroke and retired. William Earley then became managing director until his death in 1956. In his will he made his nephew Gerard Earley managing director, and his niece Dympna Earley and grand-nephew Leo Earley co-directors. The firm remained in business under the name of Earley Studios Ltd until its closure in 1975.
