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.
The first President of the band was Thomas Clarke.........the first
Secretary, Seán O'Casey.
Casey acted in many plays staged by the St.Laurence O'Toole Dramatic
Society to raise money for the band .
Michael Colgan (later a Senator) was the first Pipe Major.
