Plaque erected on Saint Patrick’s Boys National (Primary)
School, Holly Park, Blackrock, County Dublin on October 16, 2013,
(the 75th anniversary of his death) to commemorate the fact that
W S Gosset (‘Student’) had lived in Hollyville Park
between 1913 and 1935 when he was employed at the Guinness brewery.
The dwelling house, which had stood on the site of the school,
was demolished in the early 1960s. The erection of the plaque
was a joint venture between the Irish Statistical Association
and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, the local authority.
