Girvan spoke eloquently to an audience of 300 Terenure College Rugby Club members and friends including former Leinster and international team-mates; Simon Best (speaker), Terenure team-mates Niall Hogan (speaker), Eric Miller, Leinster captain Leo Cullen, Malcolm O’Kelly, Gordon D’Arcy, Shane Byrne and Reggie Corrigan.

The attached shot shows Girvan receiving a portrait from Terenure College RFC President, Tim Duggan Jnr. The Artist was James Hanley, a Terenure College past pupil, who has recently also completed commissions of President Mary McAleese and former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
