Such is the scenario now facing Trinity College Dublin fellows, academics, and students. “The college is in breach of the approval provided by the Department of Education and Skills in relation to the Provost’s salary,” the report finds. The report states that approval was provided by the Department of Education and Skills for the salary of the Provost in 2011. For more than 400 years, Trinity College has been to the fore of Irish education and has a fine and well-deserved reputation for its premier place in the hierarchy of Irish universities. But it is clear from its own auditor’s report, Trinity is far from perfect and needs to get its house in order.
