In memoriam Paidie Dineen

On Saturday, 8 April, members of the class of 1990 planted a tree in the College grounds in memory of Paidie Dineen RIP of Cahirciveen who died in July 2000. The tree which was a mountain ash was planted in the green area between the Student Residences in which Paidie had lived while he was a student.

The ceremony was attended by two of Paidie’s brothers, his uncle and aunt, his former teacher and by approximately one hundred and twenty members of the class of 1990. The tree was blessed by Fr Fachtna McCarthy and there were a number of short speeches.

The ceremony concluded with a moving rendition of ‘the Parting Glass’. Following a reception hosted by the College, the class of 1990 repaired to the Teachers’ Club for a social evening.
