Please note

If two or more individuals wish to name a seat in honour of the same person, RCSI will accommodate both requests by allocating separate seats, each with its own personalised plaque bearing the honouree's name. This ensures that all donors can celebrate their connection to the honouree while preserving the integrity and exclusivity of each named seat.
