Forty years ago today...Liam Cosgrave became Taoiseach

Here he is now, aged 92.

FORTY YEARS AGO today, Liam Cosgrave became Taoiseach.

Now 92 years old, the former Fine Gael leader is still participating in political life.

As part of the Gathering 2013 initiative, he visited the classroom of his father’s old school, CBS James’s St on Basin Lane in Dublin, today.

He is pictured with second-year pupil Morgan Campbell.
