The Dinner took place in the Stillorgan Park Hotel on 19th April and we had a great night. The class of 1973 were there celebrating 40 years and the class of 1953 celebrated 60 years! In 2014 if you are celebrating 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 or 60 years since leaving school why not arrange a class reunion at the 2014 dinner. That includes Muckross ‘Old Boys’ too! The date for 2014 will be announced as soon as arranged.

Dear PPU,
I have lost contact with many of my class and would like to find out if any of the class are attending the Centenary dinner in the Stillorgan Park Hotel.
I left Muckross in 1974 or was it 1975? People in my class included Imelda Slattery, Mary Newman, Mary Mahony, Eliz Meldon, Sheila Quinn, Tina Pares (I’m in contact with Tina, she lives in Australia) Susan Corrigan etc.
I would be delighted if you could help me with this.
Kind regards,
Mary-Ruth
