The Literary & Debating Society of Maynooth University is a student-run society in Maynooth University.[1] It was initially founded in 1795 as part of St. Patrick's College Maynooth and is the oldest society on campus. The society believes that the written and spoken word are of equal importance, and therefore the society promotes both the debating and literary sides of the society equally. The society aims to promote freedom of expression, specifically by holding weekly literary and debating events. Its objectives are to initiate, spark, and facilitate debate within the student body. It operates under the Maynooth Students' Union as one of Maynooth University's Clubs & Societies.
