  • House Meetings
  • Other Activities

The foundational stone of the Society right up to the current day continues to be its weekly meetings which are now hosted on Mondays at 7:30pm in the Kane Building.  In addition to providing interesting and challenge perspectives on the issues of the day, they are also often hotbeds of controversy as the Society vigorously defends the principle of free speech for everyone!

In addition to competitive debating in which the Society is hugely active and successful, the Society also now engages in a vast range of activities from social events, to training for new debates, to running the annual Cork IV, to running the Annual Munster Schools Debating Competition, certainly there is never a dull moment!
