FOR the great and the good, and the thousands in between, who are past pupils of St Paul's College, Raheny, there is now a history of the school, Godliness, Games and Good Learning, compiled and written by Tony Farmer, publisher and social historian. It includes a full list of all pupils since the school was set up in l950. Notables include the Kiberd brothers, Damian and Declan, and the Haughey brothers, Sean and Charles. By combining social history with the history of the school Farmer manages a microcosm of how society has changed since l950. "St Paul's has changed constantly over time," he says, "this is the story of those changes." Published by A & A Farmer, it costs £9.99.
