Debate & Philosophy

We are the MTU Cork Debate & Philosophy Society. The Debate and Philosophy society is a society focused on providing a platform for students to learn and practice debating. It also aims to provide a place for abstract thinking and discussion. Both aspects of the society can be enjoyed independently or in tandem at the discretion of the members.

We hope to run many activates, including:

Mock debates, open floor discussions, public speaking, guest speakers, soapboxing, cross-college competitions, pub nights, anonymous debating.

Achievements

Former Chairperson Oliver McKenna has been crowned with the individual speaker’s award at the 63rd Irish Times Debate final, Ireland’s longest running third-level debating competition.
