**Irish universities are in line for a major windfall from Atlantic Philanthropies(

Trinity College in Dublin will get the first of a series of parting gifts to Irish
universities for its Institute of Neuroscience, [according to the Irish Times](http://www.irishtimes.com/news/education/trinity-in-line-for-parting-gift-from-chuck-feeney-1.2355692).
AP has already provided €13 million to establish the Institute.

the significant support they’ve already received .
