Through research, art, and public dialogue, this initiative brings together diverse voices to unpack the systemic challenges of the housing crisis and imagine alternative futures.
Funded by the European Research Council, over the past 4 years, the Data Stories project at Maynooth University has investigated the stories, politics and power embedded in housing and planning data, exposing how housing and planning data are generated, circulated, governed and used.
The exhibition officially opens on Friday, 16th of October at 6pm at The Bank, 85 James Street, Dublin 8, D08 C2PR. Daily exhibition opening times: 11 am - 5.30 pm, and runs until Saturday 24th of October.
The history dates to 1926, when the first Higher Diploma in Education began at St Patrick’s College, Maynooth (SPCM) with six students.
Forty years later, in 1966, the Higher Diploma opened to lay students, including women. Among them was Mary O’Rourke, who would later serve as Minister for Education. Other graduates of the Department who went on to hold ministerial roles in education include Mary Hanafin, Joe McHugh and Mary Mitchell O’Connor. The same year saw the announcement of free second-level education in Ireland, beginning a period of major change in Irish education.
Since 1966, more than 10,000 graduates have completed initial teacher education programmes at Maynooth. Over that time, the Department’s work has expanded into undergraduate and postgraduate teacher education, educational leadership, professional learning and research, alongside its work with schools and the wider education system.
“100 years is a long time to keep believing that teaching is worth doing properly. That’s what this milestone represents to me. Generations of people at Maynooth who quietly decided, year after year, that Irish teacher education was worth reforming, worth expanding and worth getting right.,” said Dr Majella Dempsey, Head of the Department of Education.

Located on Leinster Street, the 4,000m² complex spans four floors and provides 116 self-contained, en-suite student rooms, supported by communal kitchens designed for social cooking and dining.

Minister James Lawless, who will officially open the new housing, said: “This is a proud day for our sector. The delivery of Teach Uí Bhuachalla is not just a milestone for Maynooth University, it marks a significant step forward in how we deliver student housing across Ireland.
