Greg Breen: Hello All,

WOW this is a huge blast from the past. I cannot believe it’s 12 years since.....

Well I have been working for Dublin Bus for the last nine years but am about to embark on a new chapter in my life. I am getting married this August (2007) in Wellend, Ontario, Canada to the wonderful Dr. Jennifer Marotta and have just applied for a visa to go there to live. I spent all of 2006 there and was able to help and support Jenn while she finished her PhD in Canadian History. It’s all very exciting. Once there I’m going to study Film Production at Toronto Film School -- something that is very me (I think you can agree). It’s just a same I put it off so long. I’m looking forward to making my new life in Canada with Jenn.

Its great to see how everyone is doing and hear the wonderful news from you all. If you want to look me up you can find me on Facebook and Myspace...

Cheers and thanks to everyone for the great years at SLC. [‘May ‘07]

Mandy Byrne: This is great – I was just browsing and came across the website…Brilliant!
It was great even reading all the names of the people we spent so much time with while growing up!!

I am married (to Peter) and living in Kilkenny. We have two children – Kellyann and Katie.
I am working full-time in I.T Support…..should have listened more to Fr. Mike (ha ha)

It was unreal reading about Lorraine and Julie – Well done girls!!!
I have great memories from St. Laurence’s College. I’d love to hear from my old school mates.
I can’t believe it’s going to be 11 years since we were all together!! [March '06]

I just said I would drop you a note.

It’s been great catching up with everyone who contacted the website.

I have a new job and will be leaving Glanbia after seven years!!

The move isn’t until the 2nd June. Looking forward to it. It’s a good decision career-wise. Although I will miss everyone! [June '07]

Alison (Fallon) Gibbons here: Hello. It was great to find this site and hopefully more people will discover it and get in touch.

I’m living in Trim, Co. Meath for the last 10 years. I married John in ‘93 in Lanzarote. We have three children: Dean 6yrs and twins Blake and Wesley. They are 3.

I’m just finishing a beauty specialist course and so wish I had listened more in biology class all those years ago.

Lost contact with Mandy Byrne, and Emer Cronin 9 years ago. It would be great to hear how everyone is. [May ‘07]

Louise ( Johnston ) McCormack: Hi. Great to hear back from you so quickly after making contacting.

I bought a house in Shankill with my husband, Trevor McCormack (’91) another past pupil. We have three children Zachary is seven, Oscar two, and Tilly, our youngest, three months.

I work in the office for Tesco, doing the books (Anne McCarry would be surprised to hear that. All her hard work paid off for me.) The rest of the family is doing very well.

It would be great to hear from other people that were in my year. [Sept. ‘06]

Ciaran O’Hare: I came across the past pupil website while browsing and thought I would say hello!

Well since leaving St Laurences I've been keeping myself busy mainly by working in the I.T. industry. Thankfully I've made a lot of progress and I am currently a Project Management Consultant working in the Public Sector.

I've been fortunate enough to be able to travel a lot too. While taking a year out in 03 I went on a trip of a life time and fell for an Aussie girl from Perth .  We are now living together in Dundrum and we are looking to get married in the near future! 

I have very fond memories of St Laurence College. I led a full life and the lessons I learned both in class and by the friendship I had with the brothers/teachers have helped me through my life.  I am not saying I was a saint by any means – I am sure you can probably remember one or two instances where I wasn't!

I was wondering if our class of 94 or 95 (as I repeated) if we'd be having a reunion at some stage? 

Anyways feel free to log my email incase anyone wants to get in touch. Kind regards [Nov 07]

Lorraine O'Rourke: I am a qualified accountant technician and am currently working full time & studying partime to become a certified accountant. My studies are coming along quite well. I've got exams in 2 weeks. After all these years I'm still slogging away. Never thought leaving school that I would still be studying at the age of 27 but the fact that I work full time at least I've got some money in my pocket also.

It would be absolutely great to get in contact with some old school friends from my year. [Nov. '05]
