Businessman James Candon

In conversation with Mary McCarthy

I was 17 when I went to study law in UCD in 1990. At school in Boyle, Co Roscommon, I was interested in science and biology, but I did not take up the CAO offer to study genetics in Queen’s as I was scared of maths.

Part of me regrets that now and I did well in honors maths in my Leaving Cert in the end.
