Graduates were presented with their awards by Professor Frank Keane, President of RCSI, who, commenting on the ceremony said, "Conferring ceremonies mark a celebration and recognition of the graduate's accomplishments which they have achieved through outstanding ability, diligent application, sacrifice, excellent teaching and, in particular the support of family and friends. I would like to congratulate everyone here today on their achievements and wish them success in their careers."
