Congratulations to Professor Terence Dooley, Head of the History Department, on his appointment as a Member of the Royal Irish Academy, the highest academic distinction in Ireland. This prestigious recognition is a testament to Professor Dooley’s outstanding contributions to historical scholarship👏👏
