Trinity College Dublin names building after poet Eavan Boland

Trinity College Dublin has renamed one of its main libraries after Irish poet Eavan Boland, marking the first time in 433 years that a building at the university is named after a woman. Previously, all buildings were named after men. The library was formerly named after George Berkeley, a philosopher who supported slavery. The change follows student calls for a new name that aligns with the university's values of human dignity and equality. A plaque commemorating the renaming will be unveiled on March 10. Boland is recognized for her contributions to poetry and feminist themes, highlighting women's roles in society.
