As part of the project we have written to many people including local shop keepers, Gardai, community workers and more. We have received letters back from many of them.

Today we had a great visit from Pat O’Brien, a past pupil, who attended St Gabriel’s NS in the 1950s and who went on to run a very successful jewellery business, Irish Rubies in Dublin’s City Centre for many years.

Pat retold amazing stories of his youth, his hurling days in school and his time in St Gabriel’s NS. We are all very proud of our school’s history and our past pupils. Thanks to Pat for coming in to share his stories with us! Check back soon for more pictures from our project work!
