McAleese’s daughter steals limelight with TCD honour

PRESIDENT Mary McAleese’s daughter, Emma, stole the limelight from her mother when she claimed a top academic accolade at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) yesterday.

The 27-year-old dental science student was one of 83 undergraduates named as Trinity College scholars.

Her proud parents, the President and her husband, Martin McAleese, shared in Emma’s jubilation as the list of names was announced by the college provost Dr John Hegarty as part of Trinity Monday celebrations.
