Joe Gantly Prize in Engineering

The Joe Gantly Prize in Engineering was created by Cork Chamber to honour the late Joe Gantly, a distinguished graduate of Trinity College Dublin in Civil Engineering. Throughout his career, Joe made notable contributions to both industry and education in the Cork region. His achievements include serving as the Director of European Operations at Apple Computers, President of Cork Chamber, Chairman of the Cork Airport Authority, and as a Governor of UCC.

The establishment of this prize serves as a commemoration of Joe’s remarkable impact on Cork’s business community and his involvement with UCC. Annually, the prize is presented to the top-performing student in the Work Placement module of the BE (Hons) programme at UCC.

Congratulations are in order for Colum Mulhall, who emerged as the winner of the Joe Gantly Prize. Colum successfully completed his work placement as part of his MEng (Civil, Structural, and

Environmental) degree with Arup. Additionally, recognition is due to the joint runners-up, Anna O’Sullivan and Conor Moloney, for their outstanding achievements. Well done to all!
