The Department of Foreign Affairs marked the 40th anniversary of aid agency Concern at a reception in Iveagh House in Dublin last evening.
Junior Minister for Foreign Affairs Tom Kitt TD and Concern's CEO Tom Arnold spoke at the event.
David Byrne, a former EU Commissioner was present. Mr Byrne is a past pupil of Newbridge College. In conversation with him he spoke glowingly of the late Paul Hynes and Henry Flanagan.
It so happens that there was a significant number of people present with Dominican connections.
