Prior to May 1965, the Southern and Northern members of the IAD met on an informal basis for discussion of clinical cases. This proved to be a success. The leading members decided then to formalise this by forming a joint association. This was held in Dublin in May 1965. The inaugural members included all the practising dermatologists in both parts of the Island.
