Memorial Discourse
Venue: Graduates Memorial Building
Cost: Free public event
Booking: No booking required
Description: This year’s Trinity Monday Memorial Discourse will celebrate the life and times of the late Thekla Beere (1901-1991). Beere graduated from TCD in 1923 with a first class honours degree in Legal and Political Science and entered the civil service in the immediate aftermath of the civil war. In 1959, she became the first female Secretary of an Irish government department and it would be thirty-six years before another woman was appointed to such a position. In her retirement she chaired the Commission on the Status of Women and produced a landmark report on women’s rights. An honorary doctorate from TCD and numerous attempts to persuade her to run for the Presidency reflect the esteem in which she was once held but, in the course of the last several decades, her achievements have faded from public consciousness. This Memorial Discourse seeks to restore the legacy of a TCD graduate that made a subtly exceptional contribution to Irish life.
