Banjo set up in the Munster area?

Hello everyone.
I am about to purchase a Paramount Style A banjo. I am just wondering if anyone knows if there is a person in the Munster area who sets up banjos? (refretting, putting on a new head, etc.)
Cheers.

How ya,

I don't know what part of munster you are in but if you are anywhere near the Tipperary area you could bring the banjo to Noel McQuaids music in Nenagh. He is very good at banjo setups. He also deals with a luthier in the Limerick city that repairs and does banjo setups. If you call noel he will be able to sort you out and probably knows other people in the munster area if you are to far from him. His shop number is 067-34166

Mick Daly in Cork city could set it up for you. He does that sort of work independently and for Crowley's Music shop on MacCurtain St. You could ring them or if you send me a message and I can give you Mick's number.
