The fund has supported the restoration of UCC's Aula Maxima, the Ogham Stones collection and the Crawford Observatory.
Eamon Timoney, Managing Director, Fehily Timoney & Company said: "As a company, we have employed many UCC graduates over the years. As our work involves the delivery of complex projects for clients throughout Ireland and internationally, we very much depend on the high calibre of students graduating from UCC's College of Science, Engineering and Food Science.

"Our close links with UCC date back to our founding partner, Brendan Fehily. I would like to take this opportunity to pay special tribute to him, in particular, for forging and nurturing our relationship with UCC which continues to go from strength to strength," added Mr Timoney.
Dr Michael Murphy, President of UCC, said: "We are very grateful to Fehily Timoney & Company for their continued support, particularly in these difficult economic times.
"This is an excellent example of how business can partner with education in a meaningful way.
"I would also like to say a special word of thanks to Brendan Fehily - himself a 1956 graduate of UCC - for his long association with the College, his generous support of our conservation and heritage projects and his personal contribution to the business life of Cork," he added.
