Dr Liam Chambers, Head of the Department of History at Mary Immaculate College, has been honoured with the Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes académiques—France’s oldest honorific order—in a special ceremony at Limerick City Hall.
On 5 November, presided over by Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, the new Ambassador of France to Ireland, Her Excellency Céline Place, presented Dr Chambers with the insignia of Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes académiques (‘Knight in the Order of Academic Palms’), which was first created in 1808 by Emperor Napoleon.
Since 1955, the ‘Academic Palms’ are awarded by the French Republic to recognise exceptional achievements in the field of education and Dr Chambers was one of three Limerick residents to receive this prestigious distinction during the ceremony.

Mr Dennehy approached MIC historian Dr Paul O’Brien recently after attending a tour on Limerick civic history given by Dr O’Brien.
