CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS AT TRINITY HALL
Trinity Hall on Dartry Road in Dublin was founded as a residence for female students in 1908, four years after women had first been admitted to College. Dartry, served then by the number 14 tram, was considered to be “a discreet distance from the College” for the women who could be “a danger to the men” in residence in Trinity. An adjoining house, now called Purser House, was purchased in 1910 and a third house, Greenan, was added in 1952. In 1968, women were allowed to live in rooms within Trinity for the first time, and Trinity Hall soon became a mixed residence. Since a redevelopment in the 2000s, there is accommodation now for over 1000 students.
As Trinity Hall marks its first 100 years, it has lost nothing of its inimitable ethos, confirmed by the many past and present residents who attended the celebrations hosted there by the Warden, Denis (Brendan) Tangney M.Sc. (1982), on Saturday 10 May 2008. The Vice-Provost, Ruth Byrne M.A. (j.o.), Ph.D. (1987), only the second female Vice-Provost in 416 years, unveiled a mock-up of a piece of sculpture by Imogen Stuart Litt.D. (h.c.) (2002), which is installed in the Hall to commemorate the Centenary. For more information please visit

Strengthening Institutions for Development and Poverty Reduction
INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION STUDIES (IIIS) SUPPORTS IRELAND’S DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS WITH KEY APPOINTMENTS
International development research and teaching at Trinity took a major step forward with the appointments of two new Professors of International Development, Patrick Honohan and Frank Barry, and two new Senior Research Officers for International Development, Sharon Jackson and Michael King. When combined with Trinity’s existing expertise, these new positions have facilitated a number of significant research projects looking at finance for development, lessons from Ireland’s experience of globalisation and policy coherence for development.

STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND POVERTY REDUCTION
The aim of the IIIS International Conference held in College in July this year was to investigate the institutional challenges facing developing countries and examining what role Ireland has in supporting pro-growth and pro-poor institutional change in developing countries.
