UCD Foundation Day Dinner
This year's Foundation Day Dinner took place on 5th November 2010 in the O'Reilly Hall, UCD. Eddie O'Connor, renewable energy entrepreneur and CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power, was honoured with the 2010 UCD Foundation Medal for his outstanding contribution to engineering, with Pat Kenny delivering the citation.
The Foundation Day Medal was established in 2004 and is presented to distinguished UCD graduates who have made an outstanding contribution in their field of expertise. The medal is presented to the recipient at the annual Foundation Day Dinner, held in November to mark the foundation of the Catholic University in 1854.
The theme for the 2010 Foundation Day Medal was "Mission Science" to support the University's fundraising campaign to complete the development of UCD's Science District.
