Did you use Wikipedia as a source on this? You have an error ...

The Wikipedia article originally said that Shane Fitzgerald attended "Dublin University", which within Wikipedia redirects to "University of Dublin" ... which as of this edit is where you are showing he attended.

But earlier today the Wikipedia article was updated/corrected to match the sources (such as the Irish Times, among others) to show that he actually attended "University College Dublin".

From what I can see, the AP newswire also used "Dublin University" (which isn't the official name of any University or College - which may be why the redirect within Wikipedia was made); but all the European news sources that I can find identify the school he attends as being "University College Dublin".
