On Thursday, author Brian Gallagher visited the school. Brian’s books Across The Divide and Taking Sides have been chosen in the past for the One Book One Community Project.

Brian is involved in making a radio documentary for Newstalk. The documentary is about people who live in and around the dockland area. Three boys from Ms Quinlan’s 6th Class were chosen to speak to Brian and gave him plenty of stories about swimming in the canal,going to East Wall  water sports,going out to Howth for walks and going on the ships down at the docks

When Brian finished interviewing the three boys he told promised them that when the documentary is broadcast in Autumn,he would send the boys a copy of the interview on disk.

The boys got a great insight into the making of documentaries so watch this space …… we could have a number of future documentary makers on our hands.
