Retirement of Dr Mary Noonan
20 Sep 2024
We marked the retirement of Dr Mary Noonan, Senior Lecturer in French, on Wednesday 11 September with a gathering of colleagues and friends in the Staff Common Room. Mary's many contributions to UCC life and to the department were noted, most recently as Head of French. Her active and brilliant research career, her creative life as a poet and author, and the esteem in which she is held by students and colleagues in UCC and far beyond were very clear, as we listened to speeches given by current and former colleagues and the Head of the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences. We in the Department of French warmly wish Mary all the very best for her retirement and thank her for her substantial contribution over the past three decades, her care for our students and her collegiality.Read more -

Retirement of Professor Patrick O'Donovan
01 Feb 2024
Professor Patrick O’Donovan retired as Chair of French on January 31 2024 and has taken on his new role as Professor Emeritus.
His contribution to the Department, School and College has been considerable. In each case he left a legacy in terms of new structures and a culture of civility and collegiality. For us, within French, it is a significant moment, the end of an era in many respects and so we marked the event with a reception, a vin d’honneur, to acknowledge Paddy's contribution and wish him the very best.
