Biography

The Registrar reported that while the country had been celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Rising there, five Licentiates had been celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of iheir registration as pharmaceutical chemists, which had taken place on the morning after the insurrection had begun. He had sent congratulations to each of them on having attained their golden jubilee in the profession. One of them — Mr. Robert Henry Kerr. London — had replied, donating £5 5s. towards the Benevolent Fund, " in thanksgiving for having been spared to see my fiftieth anniversary as a pharmacist." The other members were: — Mr. J. J. B. Breakey, Belfast; Mr. M. J. Cullen, Tubbercurry; Mr. J. Duggan. Clontarf and Mr. J. H. Moffatt, Belfast.
