Prof. Roger Downer: University of Limerick oral history

Interviewee is Professor Roger Downer, President Emeritus, University of Limerick. Interview transcript. Interview conducted on 4th March 2021 by Dr. Martin Walsh.

"When my family was young and living in Canada we went camping and one of the family rules was that you must always leave the campsite in better shape than when you arrived. So, on the last day the children would collect kindling for the next campfire, remove rubbish and, as a result, leave with a good feeling about ourselves. I hope very much Martin that I have left UL in better shape than when I arrived and be assured that I am not in any way suggesting that it was bad when I came. Rather. I hope that I have added to the institution and made it even better."
