Dr. Kieran Jack McGinley (Class of 1971) made it to the Irish Times “Photos of the Year” for 2023, published in the IT Magazine on December 30th. Our Jack organised the second International Conference of the Irish Labour History Society in September.
Jack was pictured (above with the beard) beside a historic banner illustrating the Workers’ Union 0f Ireland, which was formed in 1924 and merged with the ITGWU in 1990 to form SIPTU.
As well as being a stalwart of the Trade Union Movement, Jack served the PPU with distinction having held the office of President for five years from 1998 to 2002. These were difficult times for the PPU and we are grateful to Jack for his work in keeping things going.
