I suppose there are other possible answers- eg all born in Ireland, and maybe the setter has something else in mind.

Mary McAleese went to Queens University rather than Trinity but did work at Trinity

[lenamcgrath]

2 of them have bridges named after them??
Rooms and theatres in Trinity are called after some of them?

[Mamyalynne]

Oscar Wilde left Portora with a royal scholarship to read classics at Trinity College, Dublin, from 1871 to 1874.

Bram Stoker even excelling as an athlete (he was named University Athlete) at Trinity College, Dublin, which he attended from 1864 to 1870.


Samuel Beckett studied French, Italian, and English at Trinity College, Dublin from 1923 to 1927


Mary McAleese graduated in Law from Queen's University Belfast. In 1975, she was appointed Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology and Penology at Trinity College, Dublin.


So a strong connection there,hopeit'senough.
