Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Donogh O'Malley" in English language version.
A new book, Unfulfilled Promise, outlines how Donogh was educated by the Jesuits in the Crescent School in Limerick and also Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare. He was both a bright student and a talented rugby player and he went on to play rugby for Connaught, Ulster and Munster before qualifying as a civil engineer at UCG.
O'Malley stole the Blueshirt thunder and, as a result it was virtually impossible for his Cabinet colleagues not to support his initiative. O'Malley had forewarned Seán Lemass of his plans. When the Taoiseach did not object, O'Malley took this as approval. TK Whitaker, the influential secretary of the Department of Finance, protested to the Taoiseach that O'Malley had not consulted the Department. "While he did not expressly say so, I deduced from what he said (and the smile on his face) that he had personally authorised Donogh O'Malley to make this announcement," Whitaker noted.
