2008 Organising Committee
Only 6 people turned up for June's official Reunion of the Class of 1978 (Olivia Harris, Olly Foley, Maria O'Malley, Barney Callaghan, Sinead O'Neill & Speedie Smith). But we six had such a good time chatting and telling jokes that we decided to form a commitee & organise our own special event to take place in NUIG on Saturday November 22nd that would concentrate on graduates from both 1978 & 1979 as well as any one else interested in attending.
