How it all began......
In 1910 a meeting was organised by the St. Laurence O'Toole Gaelic Athletic Association Club in the CBS school,Seville Place,Dublin.
The main mover in forming the band was Frank Cahill .
Frank was for many years an Alderman of Dublin Corporation,and later a member of the new Irish Parliament (Dáil Éireann). Amongst those present at the first meeting of the band were Pádraig Pearse,Thomas Clarke,Sean McDermott,Arthur Griffith,Douglas Hyde (later to become the first President of Ireland),and the famous Irish playwright Seán O'Casey.
