Kevin Gallagher celebrated his 40th birthday in the Post Office Club, in the presence of the FAI Cup and entertained by Irish Dancers. Ann and Eddie McDonagh celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in the Crescent Bar. Other patrons of the Crescent Bar reportedly wouldn’t let photographer Hugh Gallagher leave without taking their picture first!
