    It is a very nice photo and they do make for a good looking group. Uncle Gaybo is yer man if you could contact him, he would have been there around then unless I am mistaken. Maybe he is even in there. The right hand parting is not the only one, that lad in the plimsolls or "tackies" as we called them in Limerick was in danger of the ire of the Christian Brothers for wearing those in the front row.
  • Nick Stewart said:
    Second from right, middle row. Were's your jacket boy?! Great photo.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Swiftly checked an authoritative source (Wikipedia). Apparently Gay Byrne (famous Irish broadcaster) was born 5 August 1934, which'd make him only about 7 in 1941. I think that's a little younger than these chaps. And love tackies - have tagged for that...

    Nick Stewart I wonder did he get in trouble, what with it being photo day and all?
  • Swordscookie said:
    Gaybo's older brother who died a few years back (can't think of his name just now - AL?) was also in that school and also worked for RTE. The chap on the right on the middle row looks a lot like him. There's something about the chap 3rd from right in the front row next to the lad with the tackies that is very familiar and reminds me of a Barrister or politician.

    There's a second view of it in the catalogue (also unidentified.)

    The Hevey Institute, Mullingar?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Sharon Corbet That's it - well done!
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    It's now Coláiste Mhuire, Mullingar and they are renovating the building. Google Earth showing the Institute, cathedral and the train line.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    OSI Map which identifies the middle building as a "palace" and the one on the right as St. Mary's R.C. Church, rather than the Cathedral in Google Earth.

    There is another poster just visible on the left of the Waterford Dundalk one, its for Dan Foley who was a labour candidate and the son of this man I think Mr Foley- Ferrybank N.S.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Paul O'Farrell I think you're absolutely right! It's fascinating the way familial threads can be traced through the Poole Collection photos.

    My dad went to a Christian Brothers School in Wexford.

    Does anyone know what's in place of this now? Trying to locate the exact location on Manor Street.
  • Paul O'Farrell said:
    One of the ugliest buildings in Ireland now occupies the spot Sean, this is it on google Streetview goo.gl/maps/TDymP
