This week for Thursday Throwbacks we are looking at the pinnacle of every secondary school student’s final year – The Debs!
The Irish Debs was such a major night for us all – for many of us, it was our first big formal event without our parents. We were dressed to the nines, having a few drinks and a nice meal with school friends we hadn’t seen since the Leaving Cert exams.
