OK this wont be a pleasant one for you being an X Mount Sion lad but do you remember Bro Duggan the principal. A Tipperary bastard if ever there was one.
When I hear the word sadist I always think of him.

The Duke - with eyes in the back of his head! Remember him (?) - I was terrified of him! Remember Jim Lusby? He was a very young lay teacher. Always wore a cravat, but, because he was still a teenager, he was respected. He became a pretty successful writer.

Jim had one of his crime novels made into a series by RTE a few years ago. Making The Cut was the title and it was actually shot around Waterford. What part of town was he originally from, I always thought he was from Morley Tce. but I'm not really sure.
Jasus I forgot we called Duggan the Duke. He used to revel in that name thinking it was after John Wayne. John Wayne with a cane would be more apt.

Was that also called the Greenbank bakery?

No The Green Bank was a confectionery shop. Lonergan's Bakery was up above the Dominican Presbytery. This would have been in the mid to late 60's. They used to make gorgeous Blaa's.

Yes, I remember watching that. Although I never heard of the Duke using it, he had a "leather" with 3 metal studs in it! Scary man!
