Brian J. Donnelly, of Boston, Mass., USA former member of the US Congress (1979-93) being congratulated by An tOllamh Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh, who had delivered the citation, following the conferral by the NUI, on the proposal of UCG, of the honorary degree of LLD on him in UCG in June 1993. The photograph was taken behind the southwest corner of the Quadrangle.
Brian Donnelly was largely responsible for the enactment of the so-called 'Donnelly Visa' programme, which authorised 5,000 visas annually for citizens of countries historically under-represented in the United States' immigration system, and whose primary beneficiaries were, as was intended, Irish nationals.
