Vice-Chancellors and Pro-Chancellors of the University of Dublin

The Chancellor of the University of Dublin is supported by a number of Pro-Chancellors who may act in his/her place. The appointment was formerly known as the Vice-Chancellor; this post was held by one individual who acted as deputy to the Chancellor. In 1964, the Vice-Chancellor was replaced by a group of Pro-Chancellors (up to a maximum of six): the seniority of the Pro-Chancellors is determined by date of election.[4][5]
