"I am delighted and honoured to finally be amongst you to take up my post at the college. It is a daunting but exciting time as we endeavour to get to know each other. The warmth of the welcome and the excellent help that I have already received from the many groups and individuals who make up this great college is much appreciated. Kilkenny College has a high reputation for excellence and is deservedly proud of its history and traditions. It is my hope and prayer that we go forward together in a spirit of partnership to enhance the college experience for every pupil.”
