The W. B. Yeats Chair of Irish Studies deeply regrets the passing away of Ambassador Michael Hoey whose generous support led to signing the agreement for the creation of the William Butler Yeats Chair of Irish Studies at the University of São Paulo.
His kindness and warmth will be greatly missed and he will be forever remembered and honoured.
