Dr Brennan said:
“I start in the role of Head of School with a great sense of pride in all our School has achieved to date and ambition for all we can achieve in the coming years.
I am most grateful for the work done by all former Heads of School, and I wish Professor Fintan Sheerin well in his new role in Maynooth. I would particularly like to thank Professor Mary McCarron for acting as interim Head during this time of transition. I very much respect the mandate I have been given, and will always endeavour to consult, listen, and bring clarity to decisions I make.”
