The Road Less Travelled is a new series from the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and Near FM. In this episode we welcome Mark McMahon, whose educational journey took him from his local community school in Blanchardstown to the Pathways to Law Programme organised by Trinity’s Access Programme (TAP), and on to a degree in Law and Business at Trinity College Dublin, and becoming a Barrister. Mark will be in conversation with Sarah Grimson, the Foundation Course Co-Ordinator with the Trinity Access Programme.

About the Series

The Road Less Travelled is a series from the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and Near FM featuring current and past students from Trinity College Dublin who have taken the road less travelled to education. We meet men and women from all walks of life who have overcome social barriers and surpassed prejudice and discrimination—all for the opportunity to study at third level and in Trinity’s Arts and Humanities. In this series, we celebrate different experiences in education, meeting fascinating people with unique life stories.

The Road Less Travelled radio series is produced by Trinity Long Room Hub and Near FM with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland through the television licence fee. The Trinity Long Room Hub would like to thank Trinity’s Access Programme (TAP) for their assistance in relation to the series.
