“Del Flynn (born 1948) and Jim Flynn (born 1949) are in this photo taken on O’Connell Bridge around 1969/1970. They were ‘courting’ at the time. They went on to be married in March 1972 and subsequently had 4 children. Del and Jim are from Offaly and Meath respectively and had recently moved to Dublin when the photo was taken, where Del was training as a Nurse at Vincents Hospital and Jim was starting out his career as an Auctioneer. Del lived in the nurses digs on Stephens Green and Jim lived in digs in Sandymount at the time. Del and Jim are both 65 now and live in Dublin 15 since the early 1970’s. Jim has run his own successful ‘Flynn & Associates’ Auctioneering business since 1972 and Del has also worked in the company since its inception.”
