Michael O'Halloran retires from UCC after 43 years of dedicated service. When Michael O'Halloran began his journey with IT Services at University College Cork (UCC) in 1982, the department was known as the Computer Bureau, the Boole Library was being built, and the world wide web was still seven years away from becoming a reality. Joining as part of the then Technical Advisory Group, Michael played a pivotal role from the outset in helping the UCC community embrace and navigate the emerging digital age. Over the decades, his career would come to mirror the transformation of IT itself - from a single IBM mainframe to a vast digital ecosystem supporting thousands of users across the university.
