Dublin - University College

Immediately south of Newman House in St Stephen's Green stands University College. The Republic of Ireland has two universities, Trinity College and the National University of Ireland, to which University College in Dublin and colleges in Cork and Galway belong. Particular attention is given at this university to the Irish language. Following the considerable expansion of University College the original buildings in Earlsfort Terrace now house only the faculties of medicine and architecture; the rest of the university occupies a new site at Belfield, 3mi/5km southeast on the N11, on a spacious campus developed since the mid-1960s, with some interesting modern buildings.
