Laurentian Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laurentian Society is a society of Trinity College Dublin, named after Saint Laurence O'Toole (Lorcán Ua Tuathail in Irish),[1] and concerned with relevant issues from a Catholic perspective.[2][3] It was the Catholic society of Trinity College, and it existed with no interruptions between the academic years 1952–53 and 2001–02.[4] During those years, the society held talks on various issues and was engaged in charitable activities. The society played a role in opposing the ban on Catholics entering Trinity College,[5] and was also influential on other groups of the college, such as the G.A.A. club of Trinity.[6] In September 2011, the society was revived, being granted provisional recognition by the Trinity College Central Societies Committee.[7] The revived society was granted full recognition on 19 March 2013 at the Annual General Meeting of the same Societies Committee.
