Days before stepping up as provost of Trinity College Dublin, Prof Linda Doyle sat down with Ann O’Dea to discuss her plans for the future of the university.
Prof Linda Doyle officially became Trinity College Dublin provost on 1 August, the first day of her 10-year tenure.
Doyle’s appointment is significant not just for its standing in Irish academia, but because she is the first woman to hold the post in Trinity’s 429-year history.
