"Royal?"
Post 1921 (or 1937, or 1949), has there ever been any agitation to remove the "Royal" from the name of the institution? --Jfruh (talk) 03:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Dont think so, I am sure it would have been renamed long ago. Djegan 21:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I was coming here to ask just the same question. I'm amazed they've kept the "Royal" in their name! Moncrief (talk) 17:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Royal means it was founded by royal charter, a form of quality control. As in: Royal Dublin Society, Royal Irish Academy of Music, Royal St. George Yacht Club, Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland etc. etc.86.42.199.157 (talk) 05:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Cunningham Medal
Some noted scientists have been given a Cunningham Medal by the Royal Irish Academy. The article would be improved by explaining the history of this award.Rgdboer (talk) 21:37, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
