Professor John Coolahan RIP
It was with deep sorrow that we learned of the passing of our colleague and friend, Professor Emeritus John Coolahan, on Sunday (3rd June, 2018). John was Professor and Head of this department for 17 years and during this time he profoundly influenced his colleagues and students. Former students will remember his passion for the History and Structure of Irish Education and all will remember his support, encouragement, collegiality and leadership.
