- Description
-
Seán Tobin is seen here in three-quarter profile. Behind him, a little distance away, is the coffee shop, now called Áras Mhairéad Ní Éimhigh, the Education Building (Block D) and the Civil Engineering Building (Block E). To the left is where the small botanical garden was originally laid out.
The buildings in the background have changed their name or have been outgrown by the disciplines that originally occupied them. Education now occupies not just Block D but also the Education Building on Nuns' Island, beside St Joseph's secondary school ('the Bish'). Civil Engineering is one of the disciplines occupying the Alice Perry Engineering to the north of the campus. The much loved former coffee shop, presided over by Mrs ('Ma') Creaven, no longer opens its doors to staff and students. -
