Trinity College Dublin is our most prestigious university but the institution has struggled to remain globally competitive. Government funding per third level student has declined steeply since the crash, and Trinity has fallen down the international rankings. So for today's podcast Ciarán Hancock visits the Trinity campus to find out what is being done to replace that lost income and maintain the may services it provides to its students and academic staff? How is Trinity taking advantage of the campus's prime city centre location and its famous tourist attractions like the Book of Kells, and how are commercial concerns balanced against its academic traditions?
