Let's take walk throught the school halls and hear from those who graced the classes with the voices of Pres alumni, men now in their late 70's and early 80's who reminisce on their time in the school but also
focus on their lives after they left the front gates here on the Mardyke for the last time. We hear from former Lord Mayor Michael Ahern, a Pres scholarship student whose political leanings were fostered selling newspapers door to door in the poverty-ridden Marsh here in Cork City in the late 1940's. Entrepreneur, Michael O Connell, cornered the lucrative 3 stripes Adidas market in this country in the 1960's and recalls selling gear to the Irish rugby team from the boot of his car. Another incredibly successful entrepreneur and financial giant, Brian McCarthy of Fexco discusses his career after Pres. Finally to lands beyond the school, Father Gerry Murphy talks about his life as a Columban Father and his mission in the Philippines.
