The School of History is proud to host the Second Annual Dermot Keogh Memorial Lecture in the Aula Maxima at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The focus on this occasion will relate to Professor Keogh’s European Studies legacy. His work on Ireland and European integration is foundational, and he was deeply absorbed by events across Europe. The speaker for the memorial lecture, RTÉ Europe Editor Tony Connelly, will bring some of these matters up to the present day, as European unity is being increasingly undermined and governments across the European Union are left facing into major challenges.
