The O'Donnell Lectures are funded through a 1935 bequest from Charles James O'Donnell. This provides for an annual lecture in NUI on the history of Ireland since the time of Cromwell, with particular reference to the histories, since 1641, of old Irish families. The first of this new series of O'Donnell lectures was delivered in November 1999 at National University of Ireland, Maynooth by Dr Colm Lennon. For further information, contact the NUI office.

The Role of the University in Society Proceedings of a Conference held in Dublin Castle, 20-21 May, 1994. The document is the outcome of a review undertaken by the Senate of the range of NUI awards which has grown over the history of the University. The new Senate policy contained in the document seeks to include all NUI qualifications, and particularly NUI Certificates and Diplomas, in an integrated NUI qualifications framework, and to set out principles governing access to courses, progression from one level of awards to the next and transfer between institutions. In common with the experience of other universities, NUI is expanding and becoming more complex, in terms both of the range of its activities and the composition of its student body. Policies to combat educational disadvantage and promote greater equality of educational opportunity through improved access for under-represented groups are being pursued in all the NUI institutions.
