Walsh address pays tribute to Lenihan
The late Fianna Fáil minister who died in June at the age of 52 made history last August when he became the first figure in the party to deliver the keynote oration at the annual Collins commemoration at Béal na mBláth.
Dr Walsh, who was instrumental in transforming the University of Limerick from a regional college into one of the country’s top universities, said his predecessor as orator was “a man of courage, ability, energy and integrity”.
