University College Dublin (UCD) has awarded an honorary doctorate to Breege O’Donoghue, Primark pioneer and Irish business leader, in recognition of an exceptional career in international business, her contribution to Irish business and society, and her longstanding commitment to UCD and its students.

Having graduated from the UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business with a Bachelor of Commerce in 1972 her advice to executives starting out reflects the values that have shaped her approach to leadership: “Know right from wrong, be ethically aware. Be satisfied only with the very best, do not be clothed in power and status, but generous in mind and heart and spirit. And yes, it is encouragement and love that inspire people to succeed and be happy the world over.”

One week already since the annual UCD Business undergraduate Summer school took place with over 200 transition and fifth-year students visiting Quinn to explore university life.

What a fun day with taster lectures and interactive workshops on Marketing in Society, AI, Digital Innovation, Decision Making, Entrepreneurship, Supply Chain, and Global Business.

Thanks to all who took part and to our amazing student ambassadors for helping to make the day such a success.

It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm from the next generation of students and hopefully we will see some of the participants join us for Orientation in 2027 & 2028!
