TCH director among figures to receive honorary degrees

A DIRECTOR of Thomas Crosbie Holdings —which includes the Irish Examiner— is one of five key figures in the worlds of education, literature, business and philanthropy to be awarded honorary degrees at University College Cork next month.

Ted Crosbie was the fourth generation of Crosbies to run the paper, along with his cousins, George and Donal. Two members of the fifth generation — his son Tom and George's son, Alan — are represented on the board of Examiner Publications.

Mr Crosbie oversaw the introduction of state-of-the-art print technology to the Cork Examiner (as it was then) and Evening Echo in the mid-1970s.
