THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY IS IRELAND'S LEADING BODY OF EXPERTS IN THE SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann champions research. We identify and recognise Ireland’s world class researchers. We support scholarship and promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. We believe that good research needs to be promoted, sustained and communicated. The Academy is run by a Council of its members. Membership is by election and considered the highest academic honour in Ireland.

Re-assessing Ireland’s Entry to the United Nations

28 February 2015
Work continues on DIFP X as we continue to work through the CR series. We’ve also begun research on an exhibition on Ireland’s first year in the UN (1955-6) and have found that very little detailed work has been done on Ireland’s entry to the United Nations in December 1955.

On 6 February Kate lectured at TCD on British decolonisation and Anglo-American relations during the Cold War.

Kate chaired a session on ‘Irish identity abroad’ as part of a conference on ‘The language of fractured identity’ held at the TCD Long Room Hub on 13 February.

Michael spoke at the Irish Studies Seminar at the Université de Caen in Normandy on 26 February on the development of historical memory in the Department of Foreign Affairs.
