And among those graduating was Ciarán Muldowney from Laois, who graduated with an MSc in leadership.
The two days of ceremonies included the graduation of 89 candidates from full-time undergraduate programmes including pharmacy, physiotherapy and medicine.
93 candidates were conferred at the Diploma, Masters and Doctoral Degree ceremony and two further ceremonies, saw the graduation of 707 candidates from the School of Nursing & Midwifery and Master’s Degree candidates.
Congratulating all those graduating on their success, Professor Cathal Kelly, Chief Executive/Registrar of RCSI said: “The RCSI conferring ceremonies are a fitting recognition of our graduate’s accomplishments as all of their years of hard work and dedication today come to fruition.

“I would like to congratulate everyone who will graduate today on their achievements and wish them success in their careers as healthcare professionals and I look forward to seeing them back at the College as alumni of RCSI.”
