The public face of Dublin Corporation for almost two decades, Feely oversaw celebrations for the city’s millennium in 1988
During his tenure, the tall, bespectacled Mr Feely became the public face of Dublin Corporation, looming large at functions around the city.
“He was a committed public servant who made a significant contribution to the life of Dublin city and its citizens during a long career.” With his wife Ita, Mr Feely had four children, including Orla, professor of electronic engineering at UCD, and the late Emer, a public-health doctor and wife of former chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan.
Having studied accountancy at night, he became the corporation’s finance officer before winning the top job as city manager and town clerk. Until county Dublin was divided into three new councils under a reorganisation of local government in the early 1990s, he was county manager as well.
