Life Story

Dublin

1950s

After primary school I did a commercial course in the vocational school in Ballsbridge. I completed many short courses, such as dress designing, knitting, arts and crafts and others. Forever it seemed I yearned for further education and an opportunity presented itself and off I went to study at NUI Maynooth. For four years I travelled a couple of nights a week to complete a BA in Local and Community Studies. Following that, I studied for my H.Dip., followed by an MA. My family were present for my graduations which left me with a real feel good factor.
