Tributes to late historian Donnchadh Ó Corráin

The death of medieval historian Donnchadh Ó Corráin has been marked with fond tributes by friends, academics and ex-students.

The retired professor at University College Cork had published his most recent book, The Irish Church, its Reform and the English Invasion, earlier this year — 45 years after his first title.

National University of Ireland Chancellor Maurice Manning said Prof Ó Corráin was one of the foremost historians of medieval Ireland.
