physicists such as Lloyd, Hamilton, Fitzgerald and Walton. There has been a
Professor of Political Economy there since 1832 and there is now a thriving
Business School. And the College is a stone's throw from Ireland's recently
developed Financial Services Centre. Dublin is the capital of Ireland with a
population of about one million. It is a busy international city and centre
of one of Europe's most dynamic economies.
