The Sixth Year ‘experiment’ eventually fell victim to the
removal of the possibility of accumulating points for
Leaving Certificate subjects overa number of successive
years, and to the accelerating points-race for Third Level
entry.
Joe Veale’s commitment to rhetoric, however, as
witnessed in his influential article ‘Men Speechless’
(Studies 1957), and his foundation of An Comhdháil, the
college debating society in 1955, have left an enduring
legacy of outstanding debaters in the College.
Earl Minute Books have sadly gone astray but the
archive has discovered a copy of the Standing Orders of
An Comhdháil.
