Trinity College Dublin has revealed its plans for a €100 million development of the north entrance to the college, which would require the demolition of six Victorian terraced houses on Pearse Street in Dublin. Under the proposed development, which has drawn criticism from both An Taisce and the Irish Georgian Society, a major new entrance to the college would be constructed to allow the campus to be linked with the Pearse Street area and the city centre to the north of the college. This would aim to open up the street to the local community, which the college says have been in "active dialogue" with the college over how best to improve the area. The plans are to be submitted to Dublin City Council for planning permission later this month.
