Vale Dermot Monahan MCHS Principal 1985 - 1991
Described as a kind man with good heart. Dermot is remembered fondly as very quiet and spending a lot of time in his office - so much so that he was known as “The Grey Ghost”. However, he was always available to discuss any problems that the staff might have. He was the son of Irish/Americans. His mother would call the school asking to speak with Diarmid and announce that she was his “mudder”.
