**Prominent businessman and former Irish attorney general Peter Sutherland has made
a €4 million gift to University College Dublin’s law school. UCD is involved in 
a €20 million campaign to develop a new law school at its Belfield campus.**

Sutherland, a former graduate of UCD law school, is chairman of BP and Goldman Sachs.
UCD said the gift from Sutherland would be a significant factor in raising additional
funds from government and other sources.

Sutherland has previously supported the law school, endowing the Sutherland chair
of European Law.
