GONZAGA AT SIXTY: A WORK IN PROGRESS
An electrical fire broke out in the administration building
in the early hours of 7th February 2003. The timing
was probably fortunate, as there were no injuries. The
damage and disruption, however, were considerable, and
although most data was backed up, all the applications
for places in the school from 2005 through 2016 were
lost. Refurbishment took eight months but has left us
with the fine entrance hall that greets visitors to the
administration section of the school.
Year of ’69 with Fr Bill White. Michael McDowell (subsequently Attorney General, Minister for Justice and Tanaiste in Fianna Fail/
Progressive Democrats Coalition) is seated immediately to Fr White’s left in the photo. See Union Dinner 2006, previous page
