A Guide To Visiting Trinity College In Dublin (History + Tour)

A visit to Trinity College is one of the most popular things to do in Dublin .

Not only are its grounds lovely to walk around, it’s also home to a ton of history and some stunning artifacts, from The Book of Kells to the stunning Long Room and more.

And, while the grounds are free to have a ramble around, there’s also a paid tour that you can take, but more on that in a minute.

Below, you’ll find info on everything from the history of Trinity College in Dublin and what there is to see to the tours and more.

Some quick need-to-knows about Trinity College in Dublin

Although a visit to Trinity College in Dublin is fairly straightforward, there are a few need-to-knows that’ll make your visit that bit more enjoyable.

1. Location

Trinity College’s central location makes it perfect for quick and easy visits. Situated just south of the Liffey and to the immediate east of the popular Temple Bar, the college is easily accessible by public transport – the Luas Green line stops right outside the College Green entrance and most city centre buses have a stop nearby.

2. Ireland’s highest ranked university

Trinity College isn’t just Ireland’s highest-ranked university, it’s one of the finest in the world and is just a hair’s breadth outside of the global top 100 (it’s ranked joint 101st). It’s also the 17th most international university, attracting a hugely diverse number of applicants and students.

3. Home to a heap of history

Founded way back in the 16th century, the college has seen a ton of changes unfold within its walls and outside them over the course of its 400+ year history. From significant political developments to some of Ireland’s most well-known public figures making their mark here, there are endless stories to tell.

4. Plenty to see and do

While it might be a living and breathing university for its students, Trinity College leads a double life as a popular Dublin attraction, and there are loads to check out. From its pleasant greens to the Book of Kells and the stunning library, you can definitely pass a few hours in this elegant quarter of the capital.

The history of Trinity College

trinity dublin college

Though Trinity College has a long history, it wasn’t actually the first university in Dublin. Founded in 1320 by the Pope, the Medieval University of Dublin was the city’s first attempt at establishing a university in the city and while it lasted a couple of hundred years, it was ended by Henry VIII’s Reformation.

Created by a royal charter

Trinity College Dublin was created by royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I in 1592 amid the thought that it would bring prestige to Ireland at a time when many other European countries were also founding important centres of education.

The new university was to be built on the former site of All Hallows monastery to the southeast of the city walls, where Trinity College still stands today.

Growth years and religious questions

The 18th century was when Dublin started to see Trinity College emerge as a significant part of the city and many of its grand buildings were constructed alongside the elegant green and parks.

Following the Reformation, this time period in Britain and Ireland was an era of ascendancy for Protestants and for many years, Catholics were not allowed to join the university. It was only in 1793 that Catholics were finally allowed admission to Trinity College, but even then, they were not allowed to be elected to Scholarship, Fellowship or be made a Professor.

Finally, in 1873, all religious tests were abolished, although Catholic Bishops themselves encouraged Catholics not to attend due to the university’s protestant history.

The 20th and 21st centuries

An important development kickstarted the 20th century as women were admitted to Trinity College as full members for the first time in 1904. Another huge event took place just over a decade later, as the 1916 Easter Rising engulfed Dublin, and the university was lucky to escape unscathed. In fact, many of the discussions about what an Irish Free State would look like took place at Trinity in the aftermath of 1916.

The true growth in student numbers at the university began in 1970 when the Catholic Church relaxed its policy on Catholics attending Trinity College, and this led to new courses and buildings, especially in sciences and computing.

Now in the 21st century, Trinity is an iconic part of Dublin enjoyed by visitors and students alike.

Things to do at Trinity College

One of the reasons that Trinity is one of the most popular places to visit in Dublin is due to the sheer volume of things there are to see and do.

Below, you’ll find info on everything from the Book of Kells and the general architecture to the Long Room and more.

1. See the Book of Kells

Photo left: Public Domain. Right: Ireland’s Content Pool

Top of most visitors lists when they visit Trinity College is this extraordinary book , and believe me when I tell you it isn’t like other books! Dating back to the 9th century, the Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book written entirely in Latin. Though to be honest, just saying the word ‘illuminated’ doesn’t quite do justice to just how elaborate this ancient book is.

Made from high-quality calf vellum and extending to a total of 680 pages, some of the pages contain colourful, ornate illustrations of various religious figures and symbols that appear either by themselves or alongside the text.

2. Visit the Long Room

Put any library interior up against the Long Room inside the Library of Trinity College, and I’d say most would pale in comparison – this is Dublin architecture at its finest.

Yes, there’s a touch of hubris within that statement, but I stand by it! Three hundred years old and 65 metres long, there’s a good reason why the Long Room is one of the most photographed rooms in Dublin.

Admire its elegant wooden structure and how it’s lined with marble busts of prominent writers, philosophers and supporters of the college. The Long Room is also the longest single-chamber library in the world, housing some 200,000 books and including one of the last remaining copies of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic.

3. Grab a coffee and wander around the grounds

The leafy grounds of Trinity College are some of the prettiest in Dublin and it goes without saying that you should spend a bit of time just strolling around exploring them. Whether it’s before or after your visit to the Library, it doesn’t really matter as there’s no rush on this particular activity.

And since the university is located at the bottom of Grafton Street, it’s a short walk from some of the best coffee shops in Dublin .

4. Drop into The Douglas Hyde Gallery

Focusing on artists who push at the boundaries of form and convention and who also might be overlooked or marginalised, The Douglas Hyde is one of the more popular art galleries in Dublin , and you’ll find it at Trinity College’s Nassau Street Gate.

If you’re feeling inspired by the art inside the Book of Kells then this could be the place for you! First opened in 1978, the gallery has showcased work by significant  Irish artists such as Sam Keogh, Kathy Prendergast and Eva Rothschild and also brought well-regarded international artists to Ireland for the first time too, including Marlene Dumas, Gabriel Kuri and Alice Neel.

Places to visit near Trinity College

One of the beauties of the Trinity College tour is that, when you’re finished, you’re a short walk from many of the best things to do in Dublin .

Below, you’ll find a handful of things to see and do a stone’s throw from Trinity (plus places to eat and where to grab a post-adventure pint!).

1. Irish Whiskey Museum

Trinity College developed some of Ireland’s finest minds (Oscar Wilde, for example) and just a stone’s throw from the university you can learn all about another of Ireland’s most well-known exports. Opened in 2014 and independent of any distillery, the Irish Whiskey Museum offers visitors the opportunity to taste and experience a huge selection of Irish Whiskey.

2. Dublin Castle

If Dublin Castle doesn’t really resemble a traditional castle in the way you might see one in a movie, that’s because the cylindrical Record Tower is the only remaining remnant of the old Medieval castle. It’s a fascinating place, though and was the seat of British power in Ireland until it was handed over to Michael Collins and the Provisional Government of Ireland in 1922.

3. Endless attractions in the city

With its handy central location, there are loads of other Dublin attractions to check out within a short walk or a tram or taxi ride. Whether you want to learn about the city’s most famous export at the Guinness Storehouse or go for a bucolic stroll through St Stephen’s Green , there’s plenty of entertaining directions to head when you’re leaving from Trinity College.

4. Food and trad bars

How to Visit the Library of Trinity College Dublin

A long, symmetrical room entices your eyes, creating an illusion that there is no end to these massive walls. Day and artificial lights seem to also be overwhelmed by the size of the room. Unable to unveil centuries-old secrets of the Long Room of the Trinity College Library , they settle for a rather humble visit.

But even in this dim light, you can see books. A great amount of them. In fact, there are so many books that they fill all the shelves that align the tall walls.

This was my first virtual visit to the Long Room of the Trinity College Library in Dublin . I wasn’t looking for any specific pictures to inspire my first trip to the capital of Ireland . But, frankly, they came in handy. Once I laid my eyes on the photos of the Library of Trinity College Dublin, I knew I had to visit it sooner or later.

Meet Trinity College Dublin

Fast forward a few weeks and I marched straight to Trinity College in attempt to see its famous library on my first day in Dublin. Despite the early morning hours, the place was packed.

Tourists, impressed by the size and opulent architecture of Trinity College, gathered in the main square. Just arrived college students were hurriedly leaving the maddening crowds behind and streaming in different directions of the campus.

After admiring the main square for a few more minutes, I followed their lead.

Visit Trinity College Dublin

Founded in 1592, Trinity College Dublin is one of the oldest universities in Western Europe. Its creation came in time when European cities strived for prestige and significance that would be bestowed on them upon the establishment of their own universities. For Ireland and Dublin, having its own university also meant an alignment with European school system and weakening of English control over the country.

Interestingly enough, Queen Elizabeth I, often called “the mother of a university”, founded the college. The royalty modeled the new establishment after the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Sadly, only one college, the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, was built in the city.

The long official name of the institution, however, never gained popularity. Even today, both locals and visitors stick to the shorter names, such as Trinity College or University of Dublin.

Not being particularly popular, the early establishment occupied only a small part of today’s Front Square. The place set outside the walls of the city. As Dublin grew, it slowly swallowed the university, positioning it in the center of the city.

Today Trinity College, Ireland’s oldest surviving university, occupies 47 acres (190,000 square meters). It is recognized as one of the seven ancient universities of Great Britain and Ireland and one of the top academic institutions in Europe .

Library of Trinity College Dublin

One thing that differentiated Trinity College Dublin from other European newly-established universities was its eagerness and urgency of assembling its own library. Although the Library of Trinity College Dublin didn’t have its own space until the beginning of the 18th century, its collection started to grow almost instantly.

In 1661, Henry Jones presented the library with the Book of Kells. Up to this day, this ancient manuscript is one of the reasons why many people visit the Trinity College Library in the first place. In 1801, the library received legal deposit rights, allowing it to hold a copy of every book published in Ireland.

It was only a matter of time for such devotion and love for books to take shape in several buildings. Six of these library establishments are located on the Trinity College campus.

Visit the Old Library of Trinity College

While all the library buildings hold impressive book collections, the Old Library is the highlight of the visit to Trinity College Dublin.

The construction of the building started in 1712 and lasted twenty years. At the time of its completion, it was one of the tallest buildings on the campus. You can hardly notice the large scale of the Old Library when visiting Trinity College Dublin nowadays. Other structures of similar size surround the building, making it less profound from outside.

The interior, however, unveils the unprecedented character of the most famous library in the country. Even J.K. Rowling couldn’t resist it, using the Library of Trinity College Dublin as an inspiration for Hogwarts in Harry Potter .

The Long Room

The highlight of the visit to the Old Library is the Long Room. Home to 200,000 books and manuscripts, this 65-meter-long chamber impresses with an old charm and the 19th-century decor.

With its barrel-vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling bookcases, the Long Room is rather dark. The natural light penetrates into the chamber through large windows. But trapped between the endless book shelves, the sun rays lose almost all their power by the time they make halfway through the room.

Dublin - Roads and Destinations

Fortunately, 14 white marble busts create a welcoming resonance, allowing for more light inside to the obvious delight of all those who visit the Long Room of the Library of Trinity College Dublin for the first time. Lining the chamber, these sculptures help your eyes adjust to the dim light quicker.

Once the overall darkness of the room ceases to bother the visitors of the Trinity College Library, the busts present themselves in full glory. The marble faces of great philosophers and writers of the Western World suddenly become your silent guides. With their strong connections with Trinity College Dublin, you can’t ask for the more knowledgeable companions.

The Book of Kells

While the Long Room entices with the Brian Boru Harp and one of the last remaining copies of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic , the Book of Kells always steals the show.

The finest example of the illuminated manuscript dates back to 800 AD. It contains the four Gospels of the New Testament with such opulent illustrations and ornamentations that surpass those in other Insular Gospel books.

The Book of Kells has been one the most cherished possession of the Trinity College Library since 1661. The manuscript first appeared on display only in the 19th century. To this day, thousands of tourists visit the Trinity College Library in attempt to see this ancient book.

Getting to Trinity College

Due to its central location, you can visit the Trinity College Library while exploring other landmarks of the city. Although Dublin’s public transport functions well, I would recommend exploring the center of the city on foot.

Hi, if I understand correctly, the admission fee is 18€ for the both of them and only for 30 minutes, which I find quite expensive. Is it possible to buy a ticket only for the old library (without the book of Kells)?

' src=

I’m afraid you have to pay for both, even if you don’t want to see the Book of Kells. There are discounts for students and seniors. I used my California student ID to purchase the ticket. When it comes to the time inside the library, I definitely took my sweet time and spent more than 30 minutes. Nobody rushed me out or checked what time I entered the library.

' src=

Must a ticket be purchased to simply visit the Long Hall of the Old Library?

The Long Room is one of the main attractions of the library. Yes, tickers are required. Only Trinity College students and staff can visit the library free of charge and bring along up to 2 guests.

Trinity College in Dublin: The Complete Guide

How to explore Ireland's most famous university and the Book of Kells

visit trinity.ie

Trinity College Dublin

Trinity College is the oldest university in Ireland that is still in operation today. The historic college is an unmissable part of the Dublin landscape and sits right in the center of the city. Its hallowed halls have educated some of Ireland’s most famous figures over more than 400 years of distinguished operation.

From its history to its must-see sights, here is your guide to visiting Trinity College in Dublin.

Trinity College has been a part of higher education in Ireland for centuries but it is not technically Ireland’s oldest university. The Medieval College of Dublin was established in 1320, but closed down due to lack of funds and changing political pressures during the Protestant Reformation.  

Founded in 1592, Trinity College has its own ties to the Reformation. The college was established on the site of a former monastery by royal charter by Queen Elizabeth to stop the Irish from being “infected with popery and other ill qualities” at universities in Italy, Spain and France.

Starting in 1637, Catholics were banned from attending Trinity, a ban which stayed in place until the Catholic Relief Act of 1793. However, bans can go both ways and even though Catholic students were technically allowed in, they were never allowed to achieve the same recognition as scholars. Because of these rules, the Catholic Church retaliated and banned its faithful from enrolling at Trinity until 1970.

These days, Trinity College is the most prestigious university in Ireland and has a student body of all genders and religions.

Famous Graduates

Many famous scholars have roamed the halls of Trinity in the 400 years since the college first opened its doors. Some of the most notable graduates are Nobel-prize winners Ernest Walton (physics) and Samuel Beckett (literature). In addition to Beckett, other world-renowned authors who studied at Trinity include Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, and Bram Stoker.

Trinity has also educated famous Irish politicians including the first president of Ireland, Douglas Hyde, as well as Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese, who also both served as presidents of Ireland. And though Trinity was first known for its Anglican leanings, some of the most important figures in the fight for Ireland’s independence were also educated here. That includes Theobald Wolfe Tone who graduated with a degree in law in 1786 and went on to lead an Irish rebellion; as did Robert Emmet who studied here but then led the 1803 revolt.

Trinity College offers official tours of the campus to learn about the history, experience the modern day-to-day life of Trinners (slang for Trinity College students), tour the celebrated library, as well as to see the university’s most famous attractions: the Book of Kells.

The Trinity College Library is a deposit library, which means that it has a copy of every book printed in Ireland. It is also entitled to a copy of any book printed in the United Kingdom — all free of charge. Over the years, the library has amassed a collection of more than 5 million volumes.

The most famous of all, however, is undoubtedly the priceless Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is one of the most important illuminated manuscripts in the world. The book was created in the 9th century by Irish monks who wrote elaborately scrolled text and created detailed decorations on each page of the four gospels included in the calf-skin book. Only two pages from each of the two volumes are on display at any time, but it is an essential stop on any Dublin itinerary. The book has been on display in Trinity’s Old Library since 1661.

While most people have to take a tour, or buy a ticket, to see the Book of Kells, one of the many perks of studying at Trinity is that students are allowed to visit the celebrated manuscript as much as they would like — free of charge.

However, there is a plus side to being a visitor instead of a student. There is an old superstition that says any student who walks under the bell tower while the bell is tolling will fail their exams. That means the beautiful campanile is usually free of crowds — except on graduation day when the graduates (who have now passed all their tests) march underneath it.

If you would like to explore the campus on your own, the main entrance is the most impressive and opens onto Front Square. However, you can also access the campus from Nassau Street and through the entrance off of Lincoln Place.

What Else to Do Nearby

Trinity College is truly in the heart of Dublin and there is plenty to do nearby. First, head to the National Gallery to admire the extensive collection which includes works by Rembrandt and Diego Velazquez. After taking in the art, stroll along Merrion Square , where you can see the most impressive examples of Georgian architecture in the city.

The award-winning and thought-provoking Science Gallery is also nearby, or you can head up Grafton Street to experience the liveliest shopping area in Dublin. Otherwise, unwind with a pint and some live Irish music at O’Donoghue’s — one of the best pubs in the Irish capital .

The long room and the book of kells, dublin: guide for visitors.

The Long Room Trinity College Dublin

The Long Room and the book of Kells, in Dublin’s Trinity College Historical Library, are two of Dublin’s most popular attractions. Discover what makes them special and how to visit. Updated 2020.

The Old Library of Trinity College Dublin, aka the Long Room, is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Ireland and a site to behold.

Hosted in the historical buildings of Trinity College and academic institution dating back to 1592, the room is 65-meter long, has dark wooden vaulted ceiling and it is walls covered wall to wall by double story bookcases containing an incredible collection of 200.000 volumes.

Elaborate cast iron staircases daring the reader to venture to its highest recesses and regularly spaced marble busts guard the library recesses with their white severe stare.

The library is one of the most popular tourists attractions in Dublin , for a few reason.

The first is just its looks: the room is imposing and iconic of the city, often being chosen to grace the cover of travel brochures for the most culturally curios travelers.

The second, is what the library contains: 200,000 books but also the harp that is the national symbol of Ireland and the exhibition of the Book of Kells (more about it later)

Last but not least, the library often attracts Star wars fans. As unlikely as this may sound, there is a good reason for this: the library is said to have inspired the Jedi Temple Archives!

The Long Room at Trinity college Dublin: a bit of history

The Long Room is the most imposing and beautiful part of the vast Trinity College Library, an impressive collection of over 3 million manuscripts and books hosted in the grounds of Dublin’s oldest university.

Trinity college dates back to 1592 when it was funded by charter of Queen Elisabeth, but the oldest library buildings we see now only date back to XVIII century, when construction started following the designs of Thomas Burgh . It was built between 1712 and 1732)

Since then, the library has hosted important historical manuscripts from medieval to modern times.

In 1801 it acquired the right to claim a free copy any new book published in Ireland and the UK, making it quickly one of the largest collections of manuscripts and books in the country.

It currently houses 200,000 books making it the largest and oldest library in Ireland

The long room contains many treasures, including Ireland’s oldest harp and the proclamation of Irish independence , but it is probably best known because of the medieval manuscript  ‘the book of Kells’ .

The book of Kells, Trinity College Dublin

The book of Kells is a precious manuscript dating back, probably, to the 9th-century a.D.

Made of vellum (prepared calfskin) the book contains the Latin version of the 4 gospel prefaced by other texts, including “canon tables”, or concordances of Gospel passages common to two or more of the evangelists; summaries of the gospel narratives ( Breves causae ); and prefaces characterizing the evangelists ( Argumenta ).

The book measures approximately  330 x 255 mm and is made of 340 folios: its most impressive feature, in term so of aesthetics, is the elaborate writing in which the gospels are committed to paper.

Each page of the book is lavishly decorated with abstract designs and images of plant, animal and human ornament, each image carefully selected for its symbolic value and its ability to glorifying Jesus’ life and message.

The book is in a protective case and photographs are not allowed, but postcards and posters with details of it are for sale.

The picture below is of one of these reproductions and gives a first idea of the level of mastery involved in such a beautiful writing.

Old library Trinity college: The book of Kells is one of the treasures in the old library of Trinity College.

Mystery surrounds the exact origin of the book of Kells but the book is surely monastic in origin.

Since the VII century Ireland has been the centre of a thriving monastic culture.

The monks lived in communities devoted to the study of the scriptures and to manual work and part of this manual work consisted in the writing and therefore conservation of the word of the gospel.

The main monastery at the time was located on the island of Iona, founded by St Colum Cille, and historians believe that the book of Kells was at least partially written in that location sometime.

In 806 a.D. Iona was attacked by the Vikings and the book sis said to have been brought to Kells, near Dublin, for protection.

It is only in 1661 that the book fund his home in Trinity College.

Visiting Trinity College Old room with children

The book of Kells is difficult to appreciate for little children and despite our best efforts, we found ourselves being rushed in our visit by the presence of our two preschoolers, who only really got excited once we reached the impressive long room.

A more suitable company for this kind of exhibition is certainly children of school age: the exhibition caters well for them and teachers and parents can also download age specific worksheet to make the visit more interesting and interactive.

Trinity College Library location and how to get there

Trinity College is in the very centre of Dublin city, on College Green.

Entering from the college main gate, walk to the main college square and then turn right: the library building is on your right and is clearly marked by signs (and usually by a long queue outside!)

I can’t believe I’ve never visited here on my trips to Dublin (and it absolutely does look like the Jedi archives). Another good reason to go back #mondayescapes

'  data-srcset=

It does, doesn’t it? I usually get discouraged by the long line outside, but one a quiet day it is really evocative. The kids loved it too, while the book of kells definitely left them unimpressed

'  data-srcset=

What a beautiful library! I’d never heard of the book, actually, very cool history to it as well.

I went to Dublin in November but only for the marathon! Unfortunately the weather was awful and mighty cold so I didn’t see much of the city or Trinity College! Maybe next time!

'  data-srcset=

It has got to be one of the grandest library I’ve seen. This is also the first time I’ve seen a blog feature a college and I realized, why not?! If a college is as beautiful as this, everyone should see it.

Oh my gosh, I want to move into that room! Rooms filled to the ceiling with old books make me weak in the knees! The next time I’m in Dublin, I’m going there! Thanks for letting me know about it 🙂

Ever since seeing the movie The Book of Kells I have been intrigued!! Looks like a must-see for sure!!

Marta, this was so interesting to read. I especially loved the book! It looks fabulous!

Thanks for sharing it!

What a beautiful old library!! The Book of Kells looks impressive, too. I am always amazed when I consider that those old books are completely written by hand, especially when looking at those beautiful colourful decorations. Maybe you can visit again when your children are a little bit older.

Rare to see this kind of library in my home country. Missing the days when doing research is done mostly in libraries not in front of the computer.

I know, I love internet but libraries are special places, I think. The library I used to go to the most wasn’t this one, but the Vatican (I studied in Rome). Inside is not as impressive as this but you have a view over St Peter… pretty spectacular. Where are you from?

'  data-srcset=

We visited this earlier last year and thought it was really impressive, very exciting to see the book of kells

'  data-srcset=

I absolutely love libraries and I love Ireland. What a combination! I’ve been to Trinity College many years ago and remember it being beautiful. Would love to go back one day.

I never knew this was here and I have been to Dublin 4 times! Next time I will have to check it out.

I hope you do! Ang give me a shout if you come over 🙂

Everything is “Starwarized” now 😀 I had forgotten how beautiful this library is. Thanks for sharing

hehe, true. I love libraries and even I thought of this one because of the movie, rather than for the books! Shame on me 🙂

'  data-srcset=

I’ve never thought to visit here but I would find it quite interesting. Jedi links too! Someone obviously made it look similar in the film. Really beautiful place. Thanks for sharing, great photos

Thanks for commenting and I’m glad you liked the photos! The producers of the movie apparently denied any connection but it’s a bit striking to be casual, I believe 🙂

'  data-srcset=

It really does look like the Jedi archives! I can’t believe I’ve never visitied The Long Room – having been to Dublin a few times! It looks like such a peaceful place. Thanks for linking up with #MondayEscapes

haha, I know! I always dismissed it as a touristy, non-interesting place and then one day I went and absolutely loved it! Next time in Dublin maybe? 😉

Army Cancels Planned Public Visits to Trinity Bomb Site in April. You Can Blame 'Oppenheimer.'

Trinity Site in New Mexico

The Army has canceled the April 6 open house for the public to visit the New Mexico site of the Trinity atomic bomb blast for lack of funds following a crowd surge last October brought on by the blockbuster movie "Oppenheimer."

In a January posting, the website of the Army's White Sands Missile Range, where the world's first atomic explosion went off on July 16, 1945, said that the April open house had been canceled and will not be rescheduled "due to unforeseen circumstances" related to the range's budget.

A White Sands spokesman said Monday that costs for accommodating the public for free at the site come from discretionary funds, and the funding will not be available for April 6.

The site of the world's first test of a nuclear weapon has been open to the public for only one day in April and one day in October annually, since White Sands is still an active missile range.

The White Sands spokesman said that the next open house in October is still on schedule, but the Army is looking at the possibility of making it a paid event for the public.

The last open house on Oct. 21, 2023, was the first since the release in July 2023 of the "Oppenheimer" movie. It received several Academy Awards, including best picture, and brought about renewed interest in the personal and political travails of the theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the eclectic band of scientists he oversaw in the top secret effort to produce the first atomic weapons.

Ahead of the open house last October, the Army put out an advisory warning that, "due to the release of the movie 'Oppenheimer' in July, we are expecting a larger than normal crowd. You may have wait times of up to two hours getting onto the site. If you are not one of the first 5,000 visitors, you might not get through the gate prior to its closure at 2 p.m."

The movie "Oppenheimer" is controversial in New Mexico for making no mention of the "downwinders" who may have been harmed by the fallout from the Trinity blast, which was estimated to have the force of more than 24 kilotons, or 24,000 tons of TNT.

The site where the Trinity bomb, dubbed the "Gadget" by the scientists, exploded is now marked by a 12-foot tall obelisk made of black lava rock put in place in 1965 and has a metal plaque bearing the inscription: "Trinity Site Where the World's First Nuclear Device Was Exploded on July 16, 1945."

In 1975, the National Park Service added a second plaque which states: "This site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the U.S.A."

Professor Gerry Hanna appointed to Chair of Clinical Oncology

Posted on: 27 March 2024

Professor Hanna has been appointed to Chair of Clinical Oncology at Trinity College, the Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute and St Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network (SLRON). He takes up his post next month.

Professor Gerry Hanna appointed to Chair of Clinical Oncology

                                              Professor Gerry Hanna                  

This post is developed from, and replaces, the Marie Curie Professorship in Clinical Oncology. It is closely aligned to the recommendations of the National Cancer Strategy 2017-2026, the workforce planning commissioned by the National Cancer Control Programme, the requirements of the St. Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network (SLRON) and the aims and ambitions of the Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute, and the Medical School, Trinity College.

Welcoming the appointment, Professor Colin Doherty, Head of the School of Medicine , said:

“ We are delighted to welcome Prof Hanna as the new Marie Curie Chair in Clinical Oncology. This is a joint post with St Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network and will be working within our Discipline of Radiation Therapy in the School of Medicine.   New paradigms and conceptual shifts in cancer treatment have seen a blossoming of focused radiation therapy that is now acting in concert with other immunological therapies to deliver less toxic, more comprehensive treatment for common previously incurable cancers.   Gerry brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this post, and has previously held posts as the Chair of Oncology at the   Northern Ireland Cancer Centre in Belfast City Hospital and honorary appointments at Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Melbourne. He is an international research leader in the field of radiation therapy and CAR-T cell therapy.”

In this position, Professor Hanna will contribute to the delivery and further development of cancer services in the St. Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network (SLRON) and St. James’s Hospital within the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group.

He will also lead a high impact collaborative clinical and/or translational research and education programme at the School of Medicine, Trinity College, across the St. Luke’s Network, St. James’s Hospital, and partners that achieves national and international recognition.

Charles Gilham, Network Director, SLRON, said:

       “The St Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network are delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Gerry Hanna to the position of Marie Curie Professor of Clinical Oncology. Professor Hanna is highly regarded internationally and brings with him a wealth of skills in clinical oncology, research and education. His passion for radiation oncology is well known and he will be an enormous asset to our specialty. There could be no-one more appropriate to fill the legacy left by his predecessor – Professor Donal Hollywood – who held this post until his untimely death in 2013.”

Professor Hanna’s research interests span the use of PET/CT in radiotherapy planning for lung cancer, mechanisms of radiotherapy resistance, technical radiotherapy, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and systemic therapy and immunotherapy combinations with radiotherapy.

He will take up his post next month, April 2024.

Trump expected to attend wake of slain NYPD officer

Image: Former President Trump Votes In Florida's Primary Election In Palm Beach

Former President Donald Trump is expected to attend the wake for slain New York Police Department officer Jonathan Diller on Thursday afternoon, NYPD spokesperson Tarik Shepard told NBC News.

Diller's wake is scheduled on Thursday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Massapequa, Long Island. Diller was fatally shot Monday in Far Rockaway, Queens after he and his partner approached a vehicle that was illegally parked at a bus stop. The suspect inside the vehicle shot Diller below his bullet-proof vest, Police Commissioner Edward Caban said, according to the Associated Press .

Reached for comment, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump is "moved by the invitation to join" Diller’s family and his colleagues "as they deal with his senseless and tragic death."

Trump’s expected attendance at Diller's wake comes as he continues to make baseless claims about the crime rate in New York. The former president has often made such claims while attacking state prosecutors who have brought charges against him, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. James brought the civil fraud case against him and Bragg brought charges of falsifying business records against him in his hush money case .

The former president has also alluded to New York police officers who were assaulted this year by a group of migrants.

“You know, in New York, what’s happening with crime is it’s through the roof, and it’s called ‘migrant,’” the former president said at a rally in Michigan last month. “They beat up police officers. You’ve seen that they go in, they stab people, hurt people, shoot people. It’s a whole new form, and they have gangs now that are making our gangs look like small potatoes.”

CORRECTION  (March 27, 2024, at 7:11 p.m. ET): A previous version of this article mischaracterized Trump’s comments about migrants assaulting police officers. An incident in New York was recorded on video; it was not an unsubstantiated claim.
