Which brother was that Carol, I thought Gerry went around the same time as me if so he left around 83 I think! I thought he went to Pauls. 

Mel might know about this or email admin@stpaulscollege.ie

Also Rolo has a son there so he might be able to find out for you.

Well, according to my sources who shall remain secret (to protect
their innocence), that finest of finest publications, the Raheny
News, apparantly had a blurb about a re-union. Clearly, the year
1978-2008 connection came up in a bar somewhere, and voila! the
mission became obvious. Summon the old guys from England, Istanbul,
Terenure, Inis Boffin, and... whereever else they might be hiding.
I am led to believe that the class of 1978 has gone on to be top
contributors to society and planet Earth, including no less than:

1) Inventing the Michael Flately odour-eating XLT shoeliner.
2) Crappy screw caps on wine, yep that was us.
3) The Mars Rover passenger airbag - yep that was us too.
4) Reducing the carbon footprint of Iceland
5) Writing the 2nd note of the Intel's 4-note signature tune
6) Making the DART a Wi-Fi hotspot, well, kinda sorta... er.....
7) Singing backup vocals to "Pop goes my love" behind Hugh Grant,
8) Influencing European adoption of the punt (..er... hmmnnn)
9) Designing the left engine of the 777

So it's time to alert all of the 46-ish blokes out there who graced the
Sybil Hill palace (Prison by day, Grove by night) there's something
coming up soon; probably involving approval from the missus to get
the night off, and a trough-load of beer somewhere on the North side.

If/When I know more, you'll know more.

At one stage a former Paul's man left the Attorney General's post and was replaced by another former Paul's man. Harry Whelehan and Eoghan Fitzsimons.

there ya go now.

Funny, I never heard about Sean H when they talked about famous past pupils.

 

I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash

Seán was in my class in St. Pauls.  Nice enough fella but an awful lot of licka**es used to follow him about.  The only guy in my class who came to school in his own car!!
