Michael McDowell unveils plaque commemorating grandfather Eoin Mac Neill

The legacy of Eoin Mac Neill, the prominent Gaelic revivalist who famously tried to call off the Easter Rising, has been commemorated at his old school in Belfast.

Mac Neill's grandson, senator and former tanaiste Michael McDowell, unveiled a plaque at St Malachy's College to mark the life and times of one of its most famous ex-pupils.
