The Faculty of Radiologists was established by Irish radiologists in 1961 to advance the science, art and practice of radiology and its allied sciences, and to promote education, study and research in radiology. The Faculty is the recognised postgraduate training body for Diagnostic Radiology and Radiation Oncology in Ireland. The current Dean of the Faculty is Dr Niall Sheehy.

There are currently nearly 100 Specialist Registrars undertaking training in Diagnostic Radiology and Radiation Oncology throughout a number of training centres across the country. They spend a minimum of four years in training, during which they carry out clinical activities, and attend lectures. Further information on the Faculty of Radiologists is available on their website.
