Farrelly Dawe White began life as Farrelly Dawe and Associates in 1989. The practice was established by Alan Farrelly and Kevin Dawe in Jocelyn Street, Dundalk. In March 1991, we set up a 2nd office on Laurence’s Street, Drogheda, which was managed by Kevin Dawe. Eamonn White joined the firm as Partner in Dundalk at this time.

1994 saw further expansion activity when Farrelly Dawe and Associates took over a sole practitioner in Swords, Co. Dublin. The main office also moved from Jocelyn Street to River Lane in Dundalk. This was also the first office to be bought outright by our firm. The same year, the company was renamed Farrelly Dawe White. Two years later, FDW set about yet another acquisition, this time Gardiner Street office relocated to its present location in Drury Street, Dublin 2. This year also saw the acquisition of another sole practitioner in Dublin City.

The same year, Farrelly Dawe White took over a small practice in Balbriggan, County Dublin. This operation was subsequently moved to Skerries, County Dublin. Swords office was closed as the new Skerries office took on the workload of both the old Balbriggan office and Swords.

In 1998, FDW were awarded certification by NSAI for their adherence to the principles and procedures of the international quality standard ISO9002. At the time, FDW were only one of 5 practices in Ireland to have obtained this qualification.

Michael Bellew and Bernadette Donagher became partners of the firm in 2001.

FDW acquired Dundalk firm, Donovan Reilly in 2001 and both Siobhan Donovan and Brendan Reilly became associates of FDW. This year also saw the relocation of head office to its current location in the Blackthorn Business Park in Dundalk. As part of the continued growth and expansion of the practice, in 2006 an additional office was established in Newry, Co. Down in order to cater for our growing Northern Ireland client base.
