Jack Gleeson is now a TCD Schol

Scholars of Trinity College are entitled to an annual salary of €254, they are entitled to rooms on Campus for up to nine months of the year free of charge, they are entitled to attend Commons free of charge, and they have their College fees waived. They can put 'Sch.' after their name if they wish. There are rumours of other entitlements, such as being able to graze sheep on the College's grassy areas (and some other interesting privileges), but they are not contained in the current Statutes of the University. They may have been contained in some of the older Statutes and Letters Patent of the College and have been repealed, they may still be there, unrepealed, in Latin so that no one notices, or else someone might just have made them up.

there's also something about free pints in the pav or something like that

Pretty impressive - you have to take your exams early in second year, which will include material not yet covered and it's a big big deal to get it.

Wouldn't be difficult to cover most course's material while sitting around on a film set

Still, fair play to him.

I heard anecdotally of someone seeing him in TCD, being irrationally irritated by him and only realising later who he was, which explained the reaction!
