The CDU came into existence in 1972 through the sponsorship of three agencies namely the CDVEC represented by Jeremiah Sheehan CEO, Trinity College Dublin represented by Prof Val Rice and Brian Powell and the Dept. of Education represented by the assistant secretary Sean O Connor... On 7th April 1972 the Unit's steering committee held its first meeting adopting the provisions of the "Proposal for the Joint Curriculum Development Project for Junior Cycle Post-Primary Courses". During 1972 the project was approved by the CDVEC committee in February, by the Board and Council of Trinity College in May and finally by the Dept. of Education in December with a remit to extend the work to include non CDVEC schools... 1978 the CDU was reaffirmed as a sub-committee of the CDVEC/University of Dublin Joint Liaison Council. The CDVEC/University of Dublin Joint Liaison Council was formed in 1976 to enable the University to give degree status to a number of courses within the five CDVEC third level..
