What is recorded here
Michael Conaghan was born in Letterkenny, County Donegal, on 4 September 1944, before carrying Donegal into the crowded heart of Dublin. He taught, served as Lord Mayor, and sat in the Oireachtas for Dublin South-Central, moving from failed Democratic Socialist bids to Labour office. A life spent crossing from the western edge into the city’s centre suggests a man who believed distance could be closed by patience, argument and show-up work.
