The winning team was GROINT which opposed the motion that: "Candidates with serious infectious diseases should be accepted into dental education" . The team leader was Rajan Sobti and the individual winner was Niamh Coffey.

The awards were supported by Ard na Laoi Holistic Centre, Brothers of Charity, Lota, and by Mr Noel Hartigan, JNH Dental Ltd, and were presented by Professor Finbarr Allen, Dean of the Dental School. 

The concept was developed by Dr Sharon Curtin (Behavioural Science), Professor Robert McConnell (Restorative Dentistry) and Dr Noel Ray (Dental Materials Science). In summary, Professor McConnell stated that: “These students are all achievers…. in that they pushed their comfort zones and in the process acquired new skills which are transferrable to other area of their undergraduate programme, e.g. oral examinations, presentations in 4th Year and when formally presenting their  seen and unseen cases in final year”.

Pictured with the Perpetual Trophy is the winning team, GROINT L-R: Thomas Murphy, Niamh Coffey (individual winner), Ian Mulvey, Rajan Sobti (leader), Orna Ni Choileain & Gavin Nugent.
