THERE was a great turnout on Saturday night for a reunion of people who grew up in Oakpark in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

The Meadowlands Hotel was the venue for the get together which was last held 10 years ago but even more showed up this time.

“Some of the people here I haven’t seen in 60 years,” said Mike O’Donnell, who, along with Jacqui Dillon were the organisers of the night.

“It’s great to see them. We’ve one man here, James Chadwick, who lived in Oakpark Terrace, who has come from South Africa to be here. Others have come from Cork, Dublin and all over the country,” said Mike.

Around 60 were there for food on the night, while others arrived in later in the bar to meet up with old friends. Scroll down for photos…
