"John Byrne"Bio:
Prof John Byrne, who has died aged 82, was the father of computing in Ireland and responsible, directly or indirectly, for most of the extraordinary success of the Irish software sector.
In his five decades at Trinity College Dublin, during most of which he was head of its computer science department, he established many new courses and fostered leading-edge research, while lobbying and campaigning to make the nascent Irish software industry a priority for the government and its agencies. Without his vision and determination, it is highly unlikely that Ireland would now have a software industry that employs more than 24,000 people and generates €16 billion in exports.
