It was built on fields that were part of the college farm, but is not hemmed in by housing etc. It suits NUIM to be on the South campus.

It revealed that the modern or North campus is on a 999 year lease from the church. The old, South campus is owned entirely by the church. NUIM pays millions a year for use of the buildings and grounds. The church charges it's own development agency Trocaire, almost a million a year to occupy the top floor of Long Corridor.<br /><br />NUIM has renewal 10 year leases on most of the former seminary buildings it occupies. But the lease on New House is for one year at a time, in case it is ever needed again to provide bedrooms for seminarians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-74807974522852839892017-12-29T14:02:59.961+00:002017-12-29T14:02:59.961+00:00Maynooth is only open because the NUIM pay rent to...Maynooth is only open because the NUIM pay rent to use the former accommodation blocks for offices.
