Dermot Lane introduced Sean Freyne at the launch of the late Denstone Murphy's memoirs In Balally Pastoral Centre this evening.
The publishing of 'Rumour of Hope Challenge of Choosing' came about due to the work of Denstone's wife, Maua Wall.
Denstone enrolled to study medicine at UCC.
He discovered his father did not believe in God and as a consequence gave up the study of medicine and joined the Dominicans.
He spent two years in Trinidad teaching biology before coming back to Tallaght to be student master.
Some years later he asked to be dispensed from priesthood.
Denstone suffered Parkinsons, losing his voice in 1991. He died in 1996.
The book includes a photograph taken at San Clemente. Included in the picture are, I think, Rom Dodd, TP McInerney, Paul Hynes, Paschal Gunning and Denstone.
