Gene Kerrigan spoke about his book “The Scrap “, the true story about F Company 2nd Batallion of the Irish Volunteers based in Fairview during 1916. Noel O’ Grady entertained us with songs from the era of 1916 and Audrey Dunphy entertained us with poems and songs.Mr. Tim Quinlan from St. Joseph’s Secondary School was the MC for the day and kept everything running smoothly and a pupil from each of the schools read out the list of names of pupils from their school that fought in 1916.

Thanks to all who took part and made 1916 a more personal story.

Thanks to all the parents who attended our Carol Service yesterday. The boys had great fun getting ready and they all sang beautifully and with such enthusiasm. Marry Christmas from all the staff and pupils of Joeys. IMG_7517 ◄ Back Next ► Picture 1 of 40
