                      Atlantic College Leeson Park

                      I'm as sure as I can be that Atlantic College closed down in the late 1980s/early '90s, I passed it fairly regularly around that time when home on holidays from the UK. By then it looked rather deserted. Peter 'Fitz' Fitzgerald passed away in the summer of 1999, he was living in Sligo at that time as I understand it. I was there myself from 1982-4.

                        Did my morse code and Radio Officer thing there around 1976-77... and the Radar Cert was done at night-time in Kevin's St - never got to sea though.

                        I pass the building on Leeson Park fairly regularly - given the location I'm sure it's not lying idle - the street is full of embassies.

                          Hi, was googling and came across this forum… I was there from 89-92. We went in one morning and found Fitzy having a stoke, he got taken off to hospital, Paddy tried to run the place but Fitzy’s brother came in and told us it was closing down summer 92 when we finished our exams. Fitzy moved into a nursing home up the road and eventually married his 26 year old carer to stop his brother getting his hands on the property. We visited him a few times in 92 and he was recovering well and still very sharp. We all went off in different directions after that. Remember lifting one of the big transmitters onto the roof of Paddy’s car and bringing it to his house before the college closed. Good memories, met a lot of interesting people coming back to reval their tickets.

                            Fitzy was fairly old when I was there... I never made it to sea either - did the City and Guilds and went to work with Pye.
                            Cogs when did you work for Pye, my friends dad John Sheridan worked there late 50/60's. He used to get us load of records before they were released.
