The Literary and Debating Society (also know as “Lit & Deb”) is the oldest and most prestigious society at the University of Galway. Founded in 1846 Lit & Deb has, since then, been a force for the provocation and entertainment of the student body, its weekly debates, guest speakers, comedy and literary events offer and enriched university experience outside of the confines of the lecture theatre and academia. Join us every other Thursday in the Kirwan Theatre for lively informed debates and interesting guests, see our updates weekly on our website, facebook and Societies Calendar. We also hold debating workshops, travel to debates and work with schools.
