O’Donnell House
In the late 1950s President William Purcell commissioned a building to honour his predecessor, Fr Thomas O’Donnell. On 20th May 1958, the 112th anniversary of the death of Fr. Hand, O’Donnell House was solemnly blessed and opened by His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Rev. Dr. McQuaid. The building was used for lectures, with accommodation on the upper floors.
