Waldo Maguire
Edit Profile
Career
He had a long career with the British Broadcasting Corporation, culminating in his appointment in 1966 as the Controller of British Broadcasting Corporation Northern Ireland. He served in this position until 1972. After graduating in 1942 from Trinity he was recruited to work at Bletchley Park as a codebreaker.
He was awarded the Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1973 and retired from the British Broadcasting Corporation the following year.
He suffered two strokes, the first in 1972, and the second in 1999. I’m a Christian.. and therefore I find it very difficult to go to church in Northern Ireland.
