Trinity College Dublin (University of Dublin) was founded in 1592 as a protestant college. Catholics could ask for permission from their church to attend in 1793. Women were admitted as full members in 1904.
Queen's Colleges at Belfast, Cork and Galway were established in 1845. The names soon changed to Queen's University of Ireland at Cork, Belfast and Galway and were for both catholic and presbyterian students.
The Royal University of Ireland was successor to the Queen's University of Ireland, dissolved in 1882. After the 1880 reforms the catholic colleges came under the Catholic University. The 1908 reforms created the National University of Ireland and a separate Queen's University of Belfast.
Did your Irish ancestor attend one of these colleges?
