The Lynch Meenan Medal is presented each year to the best undergraduate student in Economics. It commemorates Professor James Meenan and Professor Patrick Lynch, former professors in the School of Economics.
Pallavi (MA with first class honours, 2016) was presented with the Denis Conniffe Medal by Jean Conniffe, wife of the late UCD Professor.
