Pleased to see that photo of the boys of Colaiste Padraig which would have been taken in 1958. I was one of them. I still have that photo on my wall here in Barnes in southwest London.. lt is hard to believe that it was sixty years ago. I recognise them all but putting names on them is another matter.maurice linehan, John Meade from Cullen Michael Carroll later father Carroll , Tim Goulding from Cullen , tadgh Keneally . Pat Kelly . There also was a Reagan from Ballydaly and a Moynihan from rathmore. Several boys from Millstreet town and nearby. I would like to say that we got sound education both from Garret and joe Garvey. Sadly l had to leave after two years and travelled to London where

Will help with some names. Kind regards . Denis o Sullivan, Barnes in southwest London
Denis – Sincere thanks for providing us with the exact date of the photo – 1958. Also we are most grateful for learning quite a number of the Students’ names which you have kindly shared. I’m also a past pupil of Coláiste Pádraig having attended there 1963 to 1968. Kindest regards from All in Millstreet and thanks a million for being a regular Visitor to http://www.millstreet.ie – Seán Radley

Not sure if you got all those names…

That Val Moynihan reference was to the 1958 Coláiste Padraig pic….
