STARS OF THE SEA On April 30th last as Dublin was celebrating the historic accession of 10 new countries to the European Union with the fireworks extravaganza, some young entrepreneurs from Star of the Sea School were setting up shop on the sea front.

John Flanagan, Gavin Hogan and Peter Murray, with the help of John’s Mum and Dad Yvonne and Peter, sold chocolate bars, crisps and drinks to the crowds making their way to and from the fireworks. All the proceeds went towards the Church funds. Father Briscoe was only too happy to accept a cheque for €135 from the boys for their efforts.
