We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr Noel Kavanagh.

A gifted philosophy lecturer and a cherished member of the Carlow College community, Noel inspired generations of students with his sharp wit, intellectual generosity, and unmistakable passion for teaching. His classes challenged, encouraged, and stayed with those lucky enough to learn from him.

Noel will be remembered as a thoughtful scholar, a dedicated educator, and a warm, curious presence whose influence reached far beyond the classroom. He instilled in a generation of students a love for philosophy and learning.  

We extend our sincerest sympathies to his Noel’s wife Kate and his family. 

Funeral details will be available on rip.ie in due course.

Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam.

Requiescat in pace.
