    Michael Byrne, affectionately known as “Old Man Belfield” by students and staff, sadly passed away on Monday 11 January 2021. A fiercely private person, we thank those of you who quietly looked out for Michael. We will miss him around the campus. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

    ⚫️🍽⭐️ Dr Morgan Fraser was among an international team who witnessed the dramatic moment a supermassive black hole devoured a wayward star. The stellar death gives us fresh insight into what happens during a phenomenon known as a tidal disruption event (TDE).

    On the sixth anniversary of the Berkeley balcony tragedy, we fondly remember the students who sadly and prematurely lost their lives - three UCD students Eimear Walsh, Lorcán Miller, Niccolai Schuster, and their friends Olivia Burke, Eoghan Culligan and Ashley Donohue.

    💙💛 It is with deep regret that we learned of the death of our friend and colleague Brian Mullins. Hailed as one of the greatest Gaelic footballers ever to play for Dublin, Brian was a massive champion of sport at UCD where he was appointed Director Sport in 2000.
