| On the 26 November Dr. Noam
        Chomsky addressed the members of the Literary & Historical
        Society before being conferred with an Honorary Fellowship of the
        society. A Nobel Prize Winner in linguistics, Dr. Chomsky has come to
        popular acclaim for his commentary upon U.S. foreign policy. The Literary & Historical Society honoured him with the highest award it can bestow upon an
        individual. His address was beamed into the James Joyce theatre of
        the John Henry Newman building via satellite link from M.I.T. His speech
        centred on the issue of Iraq and the war on terror. The Literary & Historical Society
        has in previous years hosted Nobel Prize Winners, John Hume, Seamus
        Heaney and F.W. De Klerk. Bob Geldof, John Simpson and former President
        Mary Robinson will visit the L&H later in the year.  View
