Happy birthday, Jim and Tim


To mark Jim Eadie’s 90th birthday, the IEC hosted a party in Liberty Hall. IEC joint Cathaoirleach Gerry Carson and


Séamus Dooley, Irish Secretary, are pictured above, presenting Jim with a specially commissioned caricature by NUJ member Tom Halliday. The illustration reflects Jim’s great passions: journalism, the NUJ, and Roscommon football. At the party. the former Irish Secretary asked


if there was anyone older than himself in the hall. Step forward NUJ stalwart Jim Magennis,


former Bord Fáilte Information Officer and round-the-world sailor who served with Jim on the good ship NUJ over many years. Jim (pictured below with Jim Eadie), will be 91


on November 17th and his many friends in the NUJ wish him well.
