Looking Back: Egg theft didn't dampen Easter

In April 1992, thieves stole a giant Easter Egg from Scoil Bhride which had been donated as a raffle prize by Pat Dowling. Pat immediately came up with a replacement.

But so did Volkswagen Ireland when they heard about the theft, so there were two prizes. This photo by Oliver McCrossan in the Leinster Leader shows Larry Mooney, Volkswagen Ireland; Laura Berney (winner); Brian Keyes, Principal; Cormac Aspell, winner; and Pat Dowling.

This is from the PJ Lydon scrapbook of Kilcullen newspaper clippings over a decade from the mid 1980s.
