Tom McGann
- Published: 03 September 2008
A native of Clare, Tom lives in Dublin and worked in Wicklow until his retirement in 2012. Tom became a principal in 1990 in a 6-teacher school in Rathnew. In 1997 he became an administrative principal in Ashford, a neighbouring village.
The whole area of leadership and management both fascinated and frustrated Tom and, in an effort to shed some light on it for himself, he completed a masters in Education Management and Leadership with the Open University in 2000.
In 2004, Tom became a member of the LDS team and was engaged in course development and summer course presentation. Tom was elected to the Executive Committee in 2005.
A keen sportsman, he finds it difficult to pass a TV or pitch without stopping if there is any action in progress. Due to old age and creaky knees, his playing is restricted to the odd bit of indoor football and a weekly game of golf. Soon to be writing his life story - in the meantime - watch this space!
