Over 100 new fellows and scholars of Trinity College Dublin were announced by Provost Dr John Hegarty at a ceremony on the campus this morning.
The announcement of 85 scholars, 15 fellows and four honorary fellows was a record number for the annual ceremony, which also marks the beginning of Trinity week.
Scholars are elected after showing “exceptional knowledge and understanding” of their subjects and are chosen on the basis of exam results from the Hillary term.
Fellowships are awarded for research achievement or scholarship of a “high order” as well as contribution to academic life and teaching record.
Playwright Thomas Kilroy received one of four honorary fellowships for his key role in “shaping” Irish theatre.
He was joined by historian Prof John Morrill; Prof John Nolan, a leading researcher in the field of diabetes; and Prof John Pethica, an expert in nanomechanics.
Among the benefits the new scholars can expect includes having course fees waived and being able to take rooms on campus.
The new scholars and fellows will attend a black tie dinner at the university tonight before being sworn in tomorrow morning.
