On Wednesday night in Ballyfermot College of Further Education, 21 years of past students reunited for a celebration of Ireland’s longest running third level course in animation. Presided over by Nadine O’Regan (Sunday Business Post) Joan Condron and Sarah Anne Murphy (BCFE), graduates were treated to a special recorded message by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and speeches by course founder Jerome Morrissey and Tomm Moore (Cartoon Saloon).
I graduated the course in 1995 and it was great to see some of the old classmates including Derek Joyce and Gavin Whelan (Funcom) who flew in specially from Oslo.
