Linda Doyle, Provost, Trinity College Dublin commented, “It is fantastic to see Trinity staff taking part in the Great Dublin Bike Ride 2022 and raising much needed funds for Trinity’s Student Hardship Fund. In 2019 Trinity raised over €16,000 for The Student Hardship Fund and it would be great to exceed that amount this year. I would encourage everyone to join or support the ‘Trinity on the Move’ staff team!”
