 It was reconstituted as a college in its own right in 1998 - although it initially remained under the aegis of the RCSI (as the College of Anaesthetists, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) - and it moved to its own premises in Merrion Square.The name was changed to College of Anaesthetists of Ireland on becoming fully independent.The present title was adopted in 2018, following a plebiscite of fellows, tying in with the specialty in Ireland being renamed from "anaesthesia" to the more international name of "anaesthesiology".
