Abstract: History is an important aspect of all our lives, national history, family history, etc. The history/roots of our profession are important, not just to the present generation, but to future generations. It is important to document the early years, to know where we came from. It is only in this context that we can evaluate where we are and where we are (should be) going. What follows is an effort to document the first 25 years of the education of speech and language therapists in Ireland.
