Professor John Busteed was Professor of Economics and Dean, Faculty of Commerce at University College Cork from 1924 until his death in 1964. He was known as an inspiring teacher and was an enthusiastic supporter of the Adult Education Movement. Professor Busteed served on several Government Commissions. He acted as Chairman of the Joint Unity Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and the Congress of Irish Unions, which brought about the unification of the trade union movement. For many years he was an honorary member of the Cork Chamber of Commerce.
Many of Professor Busteed's friends wish to perpetuate his memory and subscribed to a fund to achieve this. This fund was used for a number of years to organise an annual Busteed Memorial Lecture. It is now used to fund the award of a series of annual prizes to students of Economics.
This prize is awarded to the student who achieves the highest average mark in Economic modules in each Arts I, II & III, Commerce I, II, III & IV, and BA (Economics Through Transformational Learning) I, II, III & IV.
