A major new science institute is to be developed in Trinity College Dublin, after the largest ever donation by an Irish family. Martin Naughton, founder of Glen Dimplex is behind the €60 million E3 Institute of Engineering, Energy and Environment. The donation by Naughton family is the single largest private philanthropic donation in the history of the state to the new E3 institute by donating €25 million. "Education has a central role in effecting such change and it is for this reason we have decided to make this donation to Trinity’s ambitious plans for the E3 Institute. "This €60m investment in an Engineering, Energy and Environment Institute at Trinity College Dublin will make an important contribution towards achieving our goal.
