A prize of £2,000 will be offered in 1999, and in alternate years thereafter, for the best work of Irish historical research, the matter of which must have been published for the first time by any student or graduate of the National University of Ireland during the three years immediately preceding 1 April of the year in which the prize is offered. The work, which should be substantial, must be of an original character indicating direct research in historical records. Applications will be considered by the Standing Committee, which will submit a recommendation to the Senate as to whether the requisite standard has been reached and whether the prize should be awarded.
Applications (not later that 1 April 1999): The Registrar, National University of Ireland, 49 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
