Emerging in a political climate under a London government which, weary of incessant inter-church conflicts, sought to give concessions and a legal status to Catholics which would not endanger the position of Protestantism within the United Kingdom, Mungret stepped forward to play many roles as a significant and multi-talented player on the Irish educational stage.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk which is illustrated by a Powerpoint Presentation, I\u2019ll try to bring the religious and economic aspects of that bygone environment to mind, trace Mungret\u2019s various roles over the years, identify some prominent educational personalities relevant to it and recount some colourful incidents. In particular I\u2019ll attempt to share with you some misty memories of life in Mungret classrooms in the post-war years 1947-52 and, finally, set out the overwhelming factors which subsequently obliged the College to close.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Gerard Beggan will give a talk in Mungret College next Tuesday (April 14) at 7.45 pm.
