A number of “alleged unauthorised payments” at Ireland’s oldest university, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), are under Garda investigation, the Irish Examiner can reveal.

It is understood that the matter came to light at the college’s board meeting on March 23, where it was made clear that the matter would have to be reflected in TCD’s annual report.
