Róisín Hinds and Lawrence Simms from the Department of Foreign Affairs
The College Principal, Professor Peter Finn, today welcomed visitors from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs to St Mary’s. A very constructive conversation about North-South matters ensued, and the visitors then enjoyed a tour of the campus. They looked around the new Beechmount Dining Hall, the new Cardinal Newman Library and observed construction work on our new auditorium and courtyard which will open in a few months’ time.
