Hacks and Hero's of Lit and Deb Reunite:
February 11th 2010
  
This evening will see the very best of Lit and Deb's competitive hero's return to the Kirwan to battle it out once again. It will see many generations of Lit and Deb Irish Times, Mace, World's finalists and winners debate once again in the chamber that taught them this great art in the first place.
For the rest of our illustrious alumni who were short changed in a Times second round or perhaps always preferred the role of the chamber speaker/spectator, you are also invited to be the audience who will judge these great hero's at the end. Not to mention, what would a debating reunion be without a good dose of heckling from those at the back and I am sure many of you can be counted on to show us in the younger generations how this should be done.
The evening will begin with a pre debate wine reception which will also have many aspects of our glorious history and archives on display. This will allow us all to reflect on and appreciate the many sessions that came before and continued on after our own.
Finally, at the conclusion of the debate, the all important socialising aspect which is as much as part of the debating tradition as the debating itself will commence. We will retire to a venue yet to be confirmed and more details on this will be posted shortly.
Many of you should have received postal and e-mail invites. If you have not and are interested in attending this event, please don't hesitate to contact us at
