A native of Kilconly, Tuam, Concannon is the founder of JFC Manufacturing.[2] He left St. Jarlath's school, Tuam, at 13 to work on the family farm. In 1987, he invented the Triple Bucket, a product for feeding calves,[3] which was publicised by Gay Byrne on RTÉ's The Late Late Show that December. The Triple Bucket helped him establish JFC Manufacturing, which over the next twenty-five years helped him become a multi-millionaire, owning factories across Ireland, as well as the UK, Poland, and South Africa.[4] In 2011, he participated in RTÉ's The Secret Millionaire, during which he spent a week in west Dublin subsisting on minimum wage and attempting to determine which charity or organisation in the area most deserved financial support.[5] Since then, he has supported Pieta House, which gives aid to people who suffer suicidal tendencies, as well as other charitable organisations.[6] He should not be confused with John Concannon, Director of Market Development at Fáilte Ireland and chairman of Gaisce – The President's Award References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/magazine/2011/0917/1224304052348.html |title=John Concannon - Q&A |publisher=Irishtimes.com |date= |accessdate=2015-06-15}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Concannon, John}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.advertiser.ie/athlone/article/44664/business-forum-aims-to-generate-new-business-in-the-west-of-ireland |title=Business forum aims to generate new business in the west of Ireland |publisher=Advertiser.ie |date=2011-09-30 |accessdate=2015-06-15}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mayonews.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21153:the-house-that-john-built&catid=23:news&Itemid=46 |title=The house that John built |publisher=Mayonews.ie |date=2014-12-16 |accessdate=2015-06-15}} 4. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.jfc.ie/ContactUs.html |publisher=JFC.ie |title= JFC - Contact Us |accessdate=2015-06-15}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://presspack.rte.ie/2011/09/19/the-secret-millionaire-new-series/ |title=The Secret Millionaire - New Series - RTÉ Presspack |publisher=Presspack.rte.ie |date= |accessdate=2015-06-15}} 6. ^{{cite web|author=Sarah Stack Twitter |url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/secret-millionaire-star-named-irish-philanthropist-of-the-year-28946746.html |title=‘Secret Millionaire’ star named Irish philanthropist of the year |publisher=Independent.ie |date= |accessdate=2015-06-15}} 6 : Living people|People from Tuam|People from County Galway|Irish businesspeople|Irish philanthropists|Year of birth missing (living people) |
