Students who enjoy walking will find they can reach St. Patrick's Cathedral in fifteen minutes, Dublin Castle in 20 minutes and St. Stephen’s Green in about 25. The National Gallery of Ireland and Trinity College Dublin, home to the Book of Kells, are just beyond St. Stephen’s Green.

The College: The Griffith Institute of Language is part of Griffith College, Ireland’s largest private college, founded in 1974. The main programmes offered by Griffith Institute of Language focus on Academic English skills and preparation for international students to further their post secondary studies in Ireland.
