Two students from Derry were among 593 students who were awarded prestigious Entrance Exhibition Awards for the 2024/5 academic year from Trinity College Dublin.
The awards go to students accepted into the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree programme who achieved the highest points among Trinity entrants from their secondary school, above a minimum of 500 CAO points (or equivalent).
Many former awardees have gone on to make a significant contribution to the economic, cultural, and political life of Ireland and beyond. Past Exhibitioners include former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
The students come from 452 different schools and from 30 counties on the island of Ireland as well as 38 countries overseas.
The awards were delivered at three ceremonies at Trinity's Old Dining Hall, starting on 21 January 2025, to which the students and their school principals were invited.
The Derry students' names are as follows: Daniel Lagan, Lumen Christi College and Thomas Brian George Brown, Coleraine Grammar.
