Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland
1835 Inauguration of the Civil Engineers Society of Ireland.
Later renamed the Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland (ICEI)
1877 The Institution received a Royal Charter.
1927 ICEI elected its first female member, international hockey player Iris Cummins, who was also the first female engineer to graduate from University College Cork
1928 Cumann na ninnealtóirí (The Engineers Association), known as the cumann, was set up independently to "improve and advance the status and remuneration of qualified members of the engineering profession", as it was believed that the ICEI charter prohibited its negotiation of employment conditions and salary.
1969 Amalgamation of the two societies.
The Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland (Charter Amendment) Act, 1969 led to the creation of The Institution of Engineers of Ireland – Cumann na nInnealtóirí.
1997 the Irish Academy of Engineering was set up by Engineers Ireland at Dublin Institute of Technology, Bolton Street.
