Ms Heather Foley and her 5th Year LCVP class were welcomed at GSK by Ms Gillian Whelan, secretary of human resources at GSK, who gave the group a very informed talk on the work of GSK both in Ireland and overseas. Prior to a tour of the production and packaging areas of “Panadol”, the students were provided with protective clothing in the garbing area. The students got the opportunity to interact with the workers which they enjoyed. The conference area was the final leg of their tour where they enjoyed some light refreshments compliments of GSK. Many thanks to Gillian and all at GSK for their hospitality and to Ms Boyle who organised the trip.

Our History Department is organizing a project to commemorate the upcoming centenaries of the revolutionary period 1916 - 1923. You too can be part of this topical endeavor by submitting any photographs, documents, letters or stories you may have relating to that period of our history. Please forward these documents etc. to the college for the attention of Mr Donal Williams, a photocopy would be preferable as we don’t want originals to get lost or damaged. Naturally events and activities relating to the Dungarvan area would be of most interest to us but our project is not confined to the local area.
