It´s quite a while since I´ve visited this site, and I am please to see it has rather come alive. Lots of bitter/sweet memories reading through the postings.
Eamonn Moore - have sent you a PM with my email address. I think we had a contact quite some time ago when you told me about Matt Martin´s death. RIP. Problem is, I have no idea when you asked for the addy.
I learnt that Ed Brady (Eamon Brdaigh) RIP passed away about 2001 too. Shay McLoughlin too.
While I was still living in Dublin I used to meet Noel Duffy lunch times occasionally. We were working in the same area. But that petered out. Jobs got more demanding and luch breaks became too short.
I´ve been running through my mind the names of classmates:
John Kelleher, Jim Carr, Brian Martin, Bob Martin, Reggie Kelly, Tommy Gallagher, Ken Newman,
Tommy Kiernan, Ned Sherlock, Donnacha Moore, Pat Kenny, Terry McCarthy. Brendan Devlin, The two Devlin brothers from Cabra - Martin and Sean (John), John Paul Lennon
Someone mentioned ´Whisht´ - a strange man. It didn´t do to get on the wrong side of him. Fortunately I seemed to be able to do no wrong in his eyes. But I think the boarders had a hard time of it with him.
I also recall Bro Egan - Barber. He got his name from Egans, the hairdressers near the White Spot.
If anyone has photos of that year (61) I´d appreciate a scanned copy. My email is available on PM
Meandering thoughts, but not a bad way to end the weekend.

I was a boarder at St Vincents from around 1962to 1972. I recognise some of the pupils and teachers names from all those years ago. Looking back, I realise that I have had no contact with either the school or the vast majority of my school friends from the time I left in 1972. The most abiding memory, remains the brutality and cruelty of the feared Bro Cahill, who came from somewhere in Cork. However, teachers such as Mr Bob Eager and others made the time spent there more pallatable. I now live in Sydney (for the past 25 yrs) and hope to hear from some of the people from that period of time in my life.

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           02/01/2011 13:20 - ----------------------------------- Hello there, My father Patrick Francis Byrne was at school there. I think he arrived in 1951 aged 11. His brothers were Stephen (older) , Frank and James (younger). At one stage I think Frank and Patrick were in the same class. My father said he was playing basketball for them, if that´s to be believed :)
They were boarders there after mother died in Mayo in ´51. If anyone remembers anything about him or has any photos of that year, I would really appreciate it.

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           11/01/2011 17:10 - ----------------------------------- Hello ! My name is John Mac Mahon . I attended St Vincents from 1950-1960 It seems long, long ago. But I have fond memories too along with some that would be better forgotten. The centenary celebration could be marked as a highlight. We all drilled so hard and put on a grand display in Jones Road( Croke Park) The brutal treatment that Bro. Cahill could meet out to anyone that stepped out of line. For many years I kept in contact with "Barber" Bro. Egan. who sadly died in harness so to speak at the blackboard in Mullingar.I remember the names of nearly all those that taught me at school. I´d love to hear from anyone that remembers me.

Hi Rob Shouldice and Barry Murphy, two names I remember from my time in St. Vincents. I´ve just discovered this site and seeing all the names mentioned has brought back memories. Classmates such as Joey Boylan and Ollie D´arcy. I think Rob and I had a bit of fisticuffs behind the swimming pool on one accasion. If I´m not mistaken Barry was a very fine swimmer. I played football,swam competed in lifesaving and played water polo for the school over the years and on one or two occasions I did a little school work aswell. I´m fairly sure Ollie went via the Dublin Fire Brigade into The Gardai. I see some people have copies of the old year books that would certainly be nice to have now. I recall my year never even had a Debs Ball.

St. Vincents C.B.S Reply
Have just come across St.Vincents past pupils letters. I was a boarder from 1951-1957 from which I have many memories some happy. I recognize so many names both pupils, brothers and lay teachers. Some have no photographs but I have the 956 centenary record which contains photographs of all pupils and teachers at that time. Remember the drill display with the great Artane Boys Band. Someone mentioned Reggie Kelly who is my cousin- there were actually 3 Kelly brothers in the school. No one mentioned Nurse ORourke, Albert the carpenter, the tailoress (cant remember her name) and of course Billy Coffy the night watchman with his little knobbly stick. The Brother whose nickname was WHISTH was actually Brother OShea. There is so much more

Hi everyone, I was in St. Vincents in the 1960s and remember a lot of the names mentioned in the above posts.I remember Brendan Askin very well. Brenno, as you were called back then. You were a few yrs. ahead of me. My nickname was Magser. You will remember Austin (occo)Brady, Joe and Martin Nagle,David Conway and his brother Willie to mention just a few.You were quite the artist and a great soccer player, but no one mentioned your interest in playing your made up drums. They were made from all and sundry including tea chests and the old steel chairs with wire hangers on them for cymbals. Manys the time I sang Quick Joey Small during one of your impromto sessions. What about after tea when the dreaded Bro. Cahill would dole out the leftovers from the brothers tea. 5th. yr. boys take one item and run were his words. Ha ha, looking back there were some fun good times, but most of my memories are bad.I met Jimmy Rathbone, and Joe O Reilly not so long ago (dont know if you remember them) and Kenneth Nagle spent a weekend here in my house. He is Joe Nagles brother and they are from Limerick. They have another brother called Fonzy. I will send you an e-mail and maybe we can have a chat. Too many memories to put them all down here, but if anyone remembers me or wants to contact me, then feel more than welcome. Wishing you all the best.
Kevin Maguire.

Maybe not the same person, but did you sit in front of (or behind?) me in classroom above the school hall? I sat beside Patrick Rutherford and I think you sat beside a boy named Doyle who had come from a primary school in Phibsborough. I´d be pleased to hear from you. Vincent Hanley

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           16/01/2011 16:05 - ----------------------------------- Of course I remember you,and your brothers Brendan and Reggie. I also remember Harry O´brien as well. Gosh years have passed and I´ve not had or heard any news about those day at Vincents.I noticed Sylvester Tuckers name and I remember him too as well as Brian Reynolds and of course Noel Walsh- I would also like to hear from anyone that went to Vincents . A few ywars back I met a fellow who was in Vincent and left around 1947 his name was Noel O´Shea .We were both together on a Catenian weekend in Louvain.

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           21/04/2010 00:07 - ----------------------------------- Hello Everybody: I would like to hear from anyone who attended St. Vincents around 1948 and onwards. My two cousins, Peter and Freddie Boyne were pupils there, possibly boarders in 1948 they would have been about 8 and 10 years old or slighly older.. They would have been well known as they stayed on into their teenage years. They might also be remembered for the tragic circumstances under which their mother Kathleen Boyne died. She was murdered in what became known as the Howth Murder in 1948. The boy´s daddy had already died of TB so they were orphans. Anybody with info, please please respond. Do you remember the boys? Any photos? I know Freddie later played on the hurling team. Thank you

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           07/02/2013 19:24 - ----------------------------------- I just found this site and was wondering why it was not being used more, it has a lot to offer with regards to finding out about who, what, why and where are they now? My name is Denis Kearney I am living in Canada and have been for 27 years. I was on both sides of the sheds from 59/60 to 68/69.Anyway if you are browsing and you find this please get back to me. Austin Brady and I were right and left fullbacks on many teams, Ronan Collins sat beside me through some of Secondary School. Too many names that come to mind because they have not been spoken off already, are remembered fondly, but do not want to forget someone. So I would like to hear from anyone that was there when I was there, to fill in the gaps, as I have lots of those now that old-timers in setting in. Stay safe and well Denis Kearney

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           24/08/2012 08:47 - ----------------------------------- Kevin Maguire, I remember Joe O Reilly and Jimmy Rathbone,Kenneth Nagle and Occo, ( learned how to tackle on cement from him. I was envious of the massive snooker table in the small room where the senior borders went to play and smoke. We had great soccer games in the yard near the handball alley. Gary Wickham and Gary Grey were junior and we had to suffer Br Cahill in the lager room which had small billard tables. Was Ecco the name of the brother who used to monitor us while we did our homework ? and he was always drooling . His fingers were massive. and hurt like hell when he landed them on you.

Just came across this website today - 25/4/10. I attended St. Vincent´s Secondary Glasnevin from 1955 (the centenary year) to 1960. I remember Bros. Nolan, Burke, Connaughton, O´Farrell, Farrell, Carroll , O´Shea , Quinlan, Carew, Beer, and the head Br. Bruic. There was another Head later, but I can´t remember his name. Also lay teachers: O´Leary (2), Joyce, Buckley, Riordan, Horgan and Hayes. The main building (gone now) was very old and delapidated. Some classes were held in the Assembly Hall, and some in prefab buildings. Overall I enjoyed the schooldays, in the "B" class, where subjects were taught in English, and where for some strange reason we didn´t do Science (that was for the "A" class) , but instead we learned Object and Mechanical drawing!

I was in Vincents primary and secondary from about 1965 to 1976. I also went to St Michaels preschool when it was mixed but they turned it into a girls school after I left. Can´t imagine why. Anyway nobody on their site is old enough to remember so all they remember is there weren´t any boys there. I was there with Seamus Kavanagh and Michael Murphy. Anyone know of one of the boarders, Cassidy ? He was a good swimmer.

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           11/01/2011 17:10 - ----------------------------------- Hello ! My name is John Mac Mahon . I attended St Vincents from 1950-1960 It seems long, long ago. But I have fond memories too along with some that would be better forgotten. The centenary celebration could be marked as a highlight. We all drilled so hard and put on a grand display in Jones Road( Croke Park) The brutal treatment that Bro. Cahill could meet out to anyone that stepped out of line. For many years I kept in contact with "Barber" Bro. Egan. who sadly died in harness so to speak at the blackboard in Mullingar.I remember the names of nearly all those that taught me at school. I´d love to hear from anyone that remembers me.

HI Joe, and All.
I have a few more name to add to the list.
Pat Kenny (No. Not him! LOL). Tom Gallagher who lived in Leinster street, I think, near Ken Newman, Matt Donoghue (originally from Derry), Tommy Kiernan, Joe Lynam, of course! Andy Conlon, Sean Kelly, and Brendan Devlin. He introduced me to the Dublin Gliding Club, back in the early 1970s
Had a minor moment of nostalgia when I was in Dublin back in September of this year (2011 - this thread doesn´t give the year, which is confusing to say the least). I have been doing research on the family. The past generations are all buried in Glasnevin, so I parked the car out side, just a little away from the ´new´ secondary school. It´s sad that the old buiding is gone. Anyone remember the topper and the lower?
I hope to get back to Dublin in February next, or thereabouts. Anyone of my year care to meet up?
David Monks
I am particularly sorry to hear about Declan Horgan. For all the edge on his personality he was absolutely brilliant as a Latin teacher. He was fond of handing out lines. I remember having to do ´Pueri turpes in hoc ludo sunt´ x 100

st vincents c.b.s. glasnevin           23/11/2010 16:28 - ----------------------------------- Hi there, My name is Brendan O´Reilly and I attended St. Vincents Secondary School between 1965 and 1970. Among the teachers I remember were "Fury" (Frank O´Leary), "Goofy" (Donal O´Leary), Bob Eager, "Redser" Ryan, Nobby Lynch, Jack Martin, Mick Moloney (Obedience is a virtue to be cherished), Br. Fahy, Br. Conliffe. Br. Bourke was the Principal while I was there. I did my Leaving Cert in 1970. I actually quite enjoyed my time in Vincents and I don´t think it left too many scars.
