Any other business: Paul Coulson sowed business seeds in his Trinity days
Plus a family dispute over a Dublin garage, US tycoon puts auctioneers on notice and a lavish estate hits the market
'Paul Coulson is one of Trinity's most successful and interesting graduates of the last 50 years,' the university's website gushes, in relation to the businessman who has finally ceded control of the Ardagh Group to bondholders.
As well as captaining the hockey club, and earning a Pink for tennis (whatever that might be), the website credits Coulson with developing the Pavilion Bar and having 'restructured' the Trinity Ball, returning it to profitability.
