    People complain about overcrowding in schools nowadays but it is a well known fact that Bono was in a class of 4,702 in secondary school. And he was rubbish at music.

    Played GAA in school with a couple of current Dublin footballers.

    My school was only opened around 1995 so we don't have much of a history yet.
