[EAN: 9781856079563], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Columba Press], Biography & Autobiography|Political, Donogh O Malley, Fianna Fáil TD for Limerick East and Minister for Education, died suddenly on Sunday 10 March 1968. He was forty-seven. Never has an Irish minister made such an enduring impact, although O Malley served in the Department of Education for only fourteen months. The free secondary education and school transport scheme he introduced in 1966 7 brought massive change to Ireland, easing the financial, social and psychological burdens of poorer families, both urban and rural. His reforms in education assuredly paved the way for the economic success of the Celtic Tiger a generation later. A charismatic, brash, self-confident politician, DOM refused to be intimidated by a complacent civil service or by domineering Catholic Church figures. He was a man of vision, who preferred to push legislation through quickly at times recklessly when he believed it was for the benefit of the nation. Although a member of the wealthy O Malley family in Limerick, he was revered by the poor in the city and found his greatest satisfaction in working on their behalf. The tragedy for Limerick and for Ireland was that Donogh O Malley died before fulfilling his political potential, leaving a wife, née Hilda Moriarty, and two teenage children. Had he lived, and become Taoiseach, the history of Ireland would have been substantially different. About the Author PJ (Pius) Browne was born in Bruff, County Limerick, in 1956. He holds a Ph.D. in History from University College Cork. He lives in Bruff. 192 pages. 19.6 x 12.8 x 2.2 cm<

Never has an Irish minister had such an enduring impact, although O'Malley served in the Department of Education for only fourteen months. The free secondary education and school transport scheme he introduced in 1966-7 brought massive change to Ireland, easing the financial, social and psychological burdens of poorer families, both urban and rural. His reforms in education assuredly paved the way for the economic success of the Celtic Tiger a generation later. Journalist Con Houlihan has called him 'one of the three most influential leaders of modern Ireland' (the others were James Larkin and Noel Browne). A charismatic, brash, self-confident politician, DOM refused to be intimidated by a complacent civil service or by domineering Catholic Church figures. He was a man of vision, who preferred to push legislation through quickly - at times recklessly - when he believed it was for the benefit of the nation. Although a member of the wealthy O'Malley family in Limerick, he was revered by the city's poor and found his greatest satisfaction in working on their behalf. The tragedy for Limerick and for Ireland was that Donogh O'Malley died before fulfilling his political potential, leaving a wife, (Hilda Moriarty, famous in her own right as the woman who inspired Kavanagh's 'Raglan Road') and two teenage children. Had he lived, and become Taoiseach, the history of Ireland would have been substantially different.
