I don't believe it's appropriate for Frank Casey to be described as the founder. He might have been the first President, but the PTUA (and its predecessors, the old TTA and TBTA) have always been run by a collective of people.
- Yet is was he who established that group, and was his idea.
- Who says? The established story (and I can't swear to this, since I wasn't there) is that a public meeting decided to establish it. Casey was the foundation President and thus significant in the collective that set it up, but I don't believe any one person should be credited with the foundation of the PTUA. I'd say the late Patrick O'Connor, a member of the foundation committee, contributed to the setup as much as Casey did.
