About this audio guide
This guide to the Quadrangle at the University of Galway is about John Benjamin Keane, the Dublin architect who won the competition to design Queen's College in the eighteen forties and borrowed its gate tower from Oxford. It follows the money behind the building, from the state's Board of Works to a local Galway contractor, and asks who came out ahead. Best heard standing under the tower archway before you step into the quad.
