Biographical History
Professor James Francis Meenan (1910–87) was born in Dublin, and was the eldest son of James Meenan, Professor of Medicine at UCD, 1909–50. He was educated at the Catholic University School, Clongowes Wood and University College Dublin where he graduated in political economy in 1931. He obtained a National University travelling studentship and spent the following two years in Rome and Padua engaged on study which led to the eventual publication of The Italian Corporative State (1944). Called to the Bar in 1935 he combined his legal practice with a part-time lecturing position in political economy at UCD. He was appointed to a lectureship in 1951 and succeeded George O'Brien as Professor of Political Economy and National Economics in 1961. Highlights of a distinguished academic and public career included membership of a number of government commissions, a directorship of the Central Bank and the presidency of the Royal Dublin Society of which he had been a member since the age of seventeen. The Irish Economy since 1922 was published in 1970 and George O'Brien: A biographical memoir in 1980.
