Over the weekend the appointment of Declan McGonagle as director of the National College of Art & Design was announced, following the retirement of current director Colm O’Briain. Declan’s most recent role has been as director of Interface, an art & design practice based research centre at the University of Ulster in Belfast. Declan has lectured for our MA programme many times in the past, and we wish him the best in his new appointment at NCAD!
