Great photo we need more of these.A few of the faces look familier but after 50 years names will not come to me.I know I wore a suit like that and was sure glad to grow out of it.That playful wink at the camera is wonderful.Looking foreward to getting a list of some of the names

No, Secret Service. Did you know a May Brennan - MQ bottom of the hill? +/- 1940. This is the first time I've spoken with anyone from the Curragh in 50 years. My father's number was 005. If he hadn't been so keen and had dropped a couple of places back, he might have been famous.

Donal

PS. The spell checker doesn't know how to spell 'Curragh' - if I hang around here long enough, I'll start fixing that.

Hi sully

Only Mrs Brennan I can remember is de mammy and we did not arrive Curragh 1950s'

I do remember a great guy Busby Brennan,

you dad should have taken 2 steps backwards.

I think that the spellcheck is based English or Americian and sure isn't the word Curragh unique

.HI SULLY AND WELCOME, DO YOU HAVE A SISTER EILEEN I WEMT TO SCHOOL WITH HER. I ASSUME SULLY IS SULLIVAN, IF YOU ARE THE SAME WHERE IS EILEEN NOW?

Hi Andy and Sully
To attain 007 the steps would have been forward not backwards.
Sully by any chance did your mother May live in No 2 O Higgins Tce and did you have an Aunt or possibly a sister named Do who may have known Jenny Quinn?
Regards

Joey if Sully's dad had joined to behind he would have been 007

Donal O'Sullivan, 3 Fire Station Villas. My big sisters in order of SEV (Sister Escape Velocity) requirement:

Irene, Joan, Patty, Emer and Bernie. We had cousins, the Mullinses, where I had to be measured against Raymond every time before they gave me tea and bread (he was always taller than I). They lived in a shack the other side of the road near the hospital and not far from the firing range.
