didn't they start this ages ago? or are they talking about turning the sod on a different building thats being built between the arts building and the postgrad reading room?

They're talking about the Long Room Hub, which is the almost finished building alright, so it looks like their reseachers havn't looked out of their office windows for a while.

Found it interesting that this made "breaking news" this morning on breakingnews.ie

Perhaps they had managed to build everything so far without actually "turning the sod" which in fairness would be quite newsworthy in itself.

Not the times's fault, the college had a press release yesterday announcing this sod turning. Since they are building it on top of another building it isn't clear what sod got turned; some gunk in a gutter maybe.

Total waste of time money and space really, that could have been much better spent elsewhere.....and its awful looking!!

A perfect addition to the arts block so.

My dad mentioned this to me today and I thought it was hilarious...
I guess they sound more current (and wrong) if they pretend it started again.

MAYBE it's a story planted by Trinity to make it seem like they're working amazing quickly...
