An Interview with Distinguished Irish Architect Cathal O'Neill

Cathal O'Neill, who sadly passed away recently, left an extraordinary legacy in Ireland. In this recording he discusses his background, and growing up in Capel Street in central Dublin. His father set up a business in 1918 for manufacturing Gaelic footballs. He references the "incredible luck that paved the path" through his life. He recalls meeting his future wife Deirdre Monks; studying under Mies Van der Rohe in Chicago; teaching architecture during turbulent times at UCC in 1961 and his appointment as Head of School in 1972.
