Fr William Delaney
Fr William Delaney was the president of University College Dublin during the early 1900s and is best known for his role as a censor of student writings. He notably forbade James Joyce from reading a paper he had prepared for the Literary and Historical Society, a decision that provoked a confrontation with Joyce and highlighted the tensions between academic authority and creative expression in Ireland at the time.
