Seamus Kavanagh grew up in the village of Finod, near Easkey in Co Sligo. He went to the Technical School there and the principal suggested he apply for a position as a trainee electrician with T Naughton & Sons in Galway. His colleague at work, Paschal Spelman introduced him to the Order of Malta which became a life-long interest. He did a correspondence course and qualified as an electrician. Rural electrification brought about major changes in the home, and new electric appliances were in high demand, and Seamus found himself selling these and travelling throughout the county installing them.
