100 years of Trinity Business School and Irish Economic Transformation (1925 – 2025)

From a modest School of Commerce with 17 students, founded in 1925 with the support of Dublin businessman John Good, to a globally accredited Business School in the heart of Dublin, this centenary volume traces a remarkable journey of perseverance, reinvention, and purpose. Grounded in the meticulous archival research by Dr Emmet Oliver, it follows ix eras of change, from early resistance to modern renewal, and spotlights the people and moments that shaped the School’s character.

Readers will encounter pioneering programmes, near-miss crises, bold growth, and a signature home that signals new ambition. More than a record of milestones, this is a reflection on why business education matters. Trinity Business School looks ahead with clear mission: transforming business for good through sustainability, innovation, and social inclusion.
