Painting honours couple

A PORTRAIT of a couple who have worked tirelessly for University College Cork for almost two decades was unveiled yesterday in the college building named after them.

The painting of Dr Tom Cavanagh and Marie Cavanagh by artist Trevor Goring will hang in the Cavanagh Pharmacy Building, which opened last March.

Dr Cavanagh, a commerce graduate of UCC, is vice chairman of the university’s Governing Body and a director of the Cork University Foundation. He is also chairman of the Irish Business Against Litter organisation.
