Abstract
The aim of the current paper was to examine reflections on the foundation of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) and its impact on the development of academic psychology in the Republic of Ireland. The study was conducted using interview data from participants who were involved in the organisation and foundation of psychology in the Republic of Ireland. Themes were identified in relation to the foundation and development of psychology in Ireland. Results suggested that PSI had an influence on the organisation and consolidation of the discipline as well as an impact on the internationalising of psychology in Ireland. Beyond this, the foundation of the PSI itself was found to have been influenced by international experiences and the presence of a professional body in Northern Ireland. Future research may focus on documentary material on the foundation of the professional body and the impact of international influence on the foundation of PSI
