Michael as 1965, was to meet the needs of the sizeable number of was a most distinguished educationalist and engineer. students who could not partake in courses with Mathematics at Although his career was in CDVEC and DIT, he packed at least Honours Leaving Certificate level. four separate careers into his working life. He practised these activities associated with education and engineering at the Michael' occupied positions as assistant head, then head of the highest level. His lecturing career in mechanical engineering Department of Engineering Technology before becoming commenced in 1955 in Bolton Street and he quickly Principal of the College of Technology in 1980. He oversaw a established himself as a conscientious tutor to students, a major extension to the College, the implementation of the brilliant innovator of engineering programmes and a national latest computing facilities and equipment across the College 8 leader in the development of engineering courses.

Conferring supporting and encouraging them. He also had a hand in with an Honorary Fellowship of DIT in December 2004 paid many of their first engineering career postings and followed tribute to his distinguished contributions to education and their careers with detailed interest. Michael's interest was not engineering at DIT and nationally. just with full-time students, but was equally active in the development of courses to allow apprentices, part-time or One of Michael's parallel careers began with the establishment evening students to advance their careers and to maximise of the N.C.E.A. in 1972.

He evolved the possible. Those who worked with him in Bolton Street could criteria to allow advance from level to level, while always see the systems, course developments and entry/assessment challenging students with appropriate advice. criteria he had already forged, emerging on a wider national stage. During his twenty years with N.C.E.A. it can truly be said that Michael played a significant and vital national role in engineering education. He chaired the Engineering Board of NCEA for a considerable period. And was Chairman of the Association of Principals of Technological Institutes, again assisting with the legislation enacted in 1993. Michael's other parallel career was his role with Engineers Ireland, which was even longer than his educational career, as he was still an active member of the Membership Committee and Editorial Board right up to his death. His input into membership committees is legendary. His knowledge of qualifications, local and international, and their appropriateness for membership grades, made him a reference on all difficult issues; He gave unstintingly of his time to committees, to interviewing candidates, to advisory groups as well as being prepared to chair task groups and bodies. He served on the governing body and was selected as President in 1987 due reward for dedicated service to Engineers Ireland.

While one would have thought that no more activities could be accomplished, Michael was involved with other bodies such as HEDCO. He supported them where possible even to being part of an advisory team to Lesotho and Sudan. He was an active Secretary of a Production Engineering Section, setting up many conferences and seminars, attended by two Taoisigh, several government ministers and international engineers, to bring awareness to industry and government agencies of good manufacturing strategies and encouraging appropriate educational developments during the late 1960s. He supported career guidance groups where possible and was most active 9 in promoting computer studies in the 1970s. His promotion of linkages between educational establishments was ongoing and he was a major figure in the formal degree awarding arrangement between TCD and the CDVEC . Recently he was looking forward to meeting graduates at the 50th anniversary celebrations of Bolton Street’s Mechanical Engineering course, which had been his first lecturing appointment.

Those who knew him well were aware, but only in the shadowy way, of his long association with charitable organisations. Michael was a very private man in ways particularly loved by his family members. It was only at his funeral that we learned of the life threatening illness in the 1940s, which had him bedridden for three years leaving him permanently disabled and missing school for those years. Never did he refer to his disability, or to his charitable activities. We all knew him as a devoted supporter of Kerry football, an ardent fan of the Kingdom and a supporter of all student athletic activities. Sport

2005/06 was another year of sporting success. The Sports Scholarship Programme bore fruit as DIT sent its largest delegation ever to the World University Games in Izmir, Turkey. DIT was ably represented by David Gillick, the European 400m Indoor Champion (Athletics); Susanna Murphy (Swimming); Rachel Jenkin’s (Women’s Soccer). This builds on the success of Lee Murphy (Equestrian) who, last year, won a Gold and a Silver for DIT at the World University Championships in Tokyo. All of these students represent Ireland in their individual sports.

DIT continued their strong performance in GAA sports in 2005/6. The Hurling team had another fine year, again qualifying for the final of the Kehoe Cup. The Hurling Fresher’s Team won the Division 1 Fresher’s Shield. The Men’s Football team also won the 10 Division 1 Fresher’s Shield, a feat which bodes well for the future of GAA in DIT. The Men’s GAA also were Intermediate Leinster Champions and were runners-up in the Intermediate All-Ireland. The Women’s teams are at a development stage, but have benefited hugely from extra resources and support in the last few years.

DIT continued their dominance of Handball at collegiate level in Handball. The Handball team won the Dublin Team Championships and came fourth in the World Collegiate Handball Championships in Texas.

The Archery Club won the Intervarsity Plaque for the third year running. Befitting an Institute that specialises in Mechanical Engineering and Transport, DIT Karting Club are, yet again, the Intervarsity Champions. Student Societies

With 80 active societies and over 4,500 individual members, the Societies Office plays a large role in building community in the Dublin Institute of Technology. Highlights for the year included the award-winning DIT Fashion Show, which moved to Vicar Street, and has now become the largest and most prestigious student Fashion Show in Ireland. DIT Societies also won national awards for the Best poster and Best website.

Societies and the Students’ Union play a large role in building citizenship and creating future leaders for Irish Society. This is demonstrated by the large involvement of DIT students in charity work. This year, CARI Ireland recognised DIT for having raised over €100,000. DITSU also raised €28,000 for the Central Remedial Clinic during the year. 11
