This volume includes contributions on German Studies at third-level institutions in Ireland, covering, for the most part, developments and experiences during the last decades, with some contributions focusing on a longer time span. Over thirty academics from nineteen Irish universities and Institutes of Technology (now Technological Universities) look back and reflect on aspects of German Studies at their respective institutions and their personal experiences, presenting a portrayal of a subject that was introduced at third level in Ireland in 1776, a world first.
