For many of our Irish connections, particularly those prior to 1922, it is not clear which part(s) of the island of Ireland they should be associated with and it is often difficult to find out. If you have more information about any of these connections, please get in touch.

* These are the earliest graduates associated with that we have found. There may have been others we haven't found yet, or who studied at the University but didn't graduate.
