Graduation 2005
The Ceremony this year was the last ceremony of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. From 2006 the Faculty will no longer exist as a unique entity but will become a component of the "School of Agriculture, Food Science and Veterinary Medicine" whose home will be within the College of Life Sciences. This was an historic occasion as it ended the long history of Faculty graduation ceremonies. Graduands of 2005 will have a special place in the history of the Faculty and of veterinary medicine in Ireland.
