In the lead-up to the international competitions at Bolton Street College in June and July 1963, Gabriel Daly played a pivotal role behind the scenes. Alongside colleagues Dermot Ward and Seamus Greene, he managed the Goods Store, where a vast array of tools, equipment, and materials were meticulously received, verified, and organized for distribution to competition sectors. Simultaneously, workshops were outfitted with specialized machinery and workspaces tailored for each competitor. The Drawing and Copying Centre, overseen by draughtsmen like Jim Roche and technician Michael Lynch, ensured the accurate reproduction of technical drawings required for the competition. Their efforts culminated in the successful hosting of the 12th International Apprentice Competition, highlighting Ireland's commitment to technical excellence and meticulous preparation on an international stage.
