English Literature students were delighted when ex-Taoiseach, Garret FitzGerald visited a lesson to discuss the poetry of his friend Seamus Heaney.
Dr FitzGerald, one of Eire’s most popular politicians served two terms as Prime Minister and now writes a weekly column for The Irish Times. He was accompanied by his daughter, Mary, a distinguished academic in her own right. Dr FitzGerald said “It was a pleasure to meet such delightful students and to visit such a brilliant College. I was very impressed.”
