The Dean Swift IV will take place on Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th of January, and the Kingsmill-Moore Invitational will take place on Thursday the 22nd of January in Trinity College, Dublin. Ireland's two oldest debating societies will continue to offer the highest level of adjudication at any Irish competition, along with the unique oratorical atmosphere and excitement that has made the knockout rounds of the competition, and especially the Grand Final in the Chamber, legendary.
