Paper director receives academic honour

A DIRECTOR of Thomas Crosbie Holdings, owners of the Irish Examiner, was one of five luminaries to receive honorary doctorates at University College Cork (UCC) yesterday.

Over half a century after Ted Crosbie received his bachelor’s degree at the university, yesterday’s return visit to his alma mater was mixed with nostalgia and pride.

“It is a great honour not just for me but for my family and staff. I’m very humbled,” Mr Crosbie said.
