unintended result of an extraordinary piece of clerical interference and bullying that rebounded upon McQuaid and on UCD. Whyte was in the midst of writing his standard history of the
Catholic Church in independent Ireland, later published in 1969; at McQuaid's apparent instigation, his professor and head of Department attempted to forbid him from continuing with this work.

Whyte was to come back to UCD and was professor of Ethics and Politics between 1984 and 1990.

A little later, in 1966, McQuaid provoked, possibly unintentionally, the resignation of John Whyte, a distinguished
Catholic political scientist, from University College Dublin's Department of Ethics and Politics. This resignation and move to Belfast on Whyte's part in 1966 almost certainly was the
