Passing of Professor Dermot McAleese
The School is very saddened to note the passing of Professor Dermot McAleese, former Whately Professor of Political Economy at Trinity (1979–2004). As a leading economist, he made an immense contribution to TCD Economics and College more generally. Our thoughts are with his family & friends. May he rest in peace.
