The Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute on Dublin's Pearse Street carries out research in various fields. Three people were taken to hospital after a chemical spill at Trinity College Dublin, the university has said. Responding to questions, Trinity’s spokeswoman said the spillage took place at 11am on Tuesday at the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) on Pearse Street. Information was not immediately available from Trinity on whether the people taken hospital were students or staff of the university. “Dublin Fire Brigade and An Garda Síochána attended the scene but have since left and the situation is under control,” the spokeswoman said.
