Kerry, on 5 May 1936, and educated at St Michael's College, Listowel, St Brendan's College, Killarney, St Patrick's College, Maynooth, and University College Dublin. As a civil servant he worked mostly in the Department of Finance, rising to become second secretary in charge of its finance division, and he was Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland from 1994 to 2002 ? the years of the Celtic Tiger and of Ireland's entry into the euro. He died on 1 April 2019; the memoir, published the following year, is dedicated to past and present members of the Irish public service. In five chapters the memoir follows his life from a north Kerry childhood to a long career at the heart of Irish economic policy; the appendices give a list of his public appointments, his Irish Times obituary and notes on the contributors. The editor, J. Anthony Gaughan, is the historian whose many books include Listowel and Its Vicinity and biographies of figures in modern Irish history.

Pigeonhouse Books is a private Dublin archive of the unusual and the hard to find. We have served readers, researchers and people curious about our world since 2016.
Founded by an experienced editor and history graduate, our small family-run operation is like having the keys to the research library or the enthusiast's den. We specialise in finding and making available specialist items essential to the researcher, scientist, academic, collector, student, hobbyist, layperson and – most importantly – the reader, whatever their interests and wherever they may be in the world.
Pigeonhouse is a colloquial name pointing to the red and white towers of the former Poolbeg Generating Station at the estuary of the River Liffey - an icon of Dublin for those who arrive or leave, and a newfound symbol of arty modernism in Ireland.
The private Pigeonhouse warehouse is located nearby and is home to nearly 25,000 books and moving-image, audio and material-culture resources. Lost media – VHS, magazines, ephemera and never-digitised material – is a personal quest.
All of these can be dispatched worldwide here on this site via PigeonhouseBooks.com, and via your local Amazon/AbeBooks/Biblio outlet.
Visitors are always welcome by appointment at Parliament Street in Dublin 2, the city of Joyce and a UNESCO City of Literature. Please drop us a line in advance: all are very welcome to inspect and collect any item in our catalogue in person.
