STORIES were swapped and friendships renewed at the launch of ‘Jewel of the North East - documenting the story of Dundalk Institute of Technology’ by former lecturers Pat Clinton and Deirdre McArdle- Clinton.
The book, which was a labour of love for the couple, documents the history of Dundalk Institute of Technology from its humble origins as one of five Regional Technical Colleges opened around the country in the early 1970s to its present status as a leading centre of education with students from 25 countries around the world.
For anyone associated with the college over the years, as staff or students, the book will evoke a lot of memories.
