If you've passed Trinity College in the past couple of days, you may have noticed a considerable amount of work being down at the main entrance.
Some Dubliners might be wondering why all that lovely grass has been dug up but there's no cause for concern. Back in February, Trinity College opened up a public vote on whether to turn the lawns outside its front gate into a wildflower meadow with the aim of promoting biodiversity.
