Trinity College is today in the centre of Dublin. At the beginning of the new century, it embarked on a radical overhaul of academic structures to reallocate funds and reduce administration costs, resulting in, for instance, the reduction from six to five to eventually three faculties under a subsequent restructuring.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/faculties-may-be-let-opt-out-of-tcd-restructure-1.1167583|title=Restructuring of TCD faculties in 2004|newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] }}</ref> The ten-year strategic plan prioritises four research themes with which the college seeks to compete for funding at the global level. Comparative funding statistics reviewing the difference in departmental unit costs and overall costs before and after this restructuring are not apparent.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcd.ie/about/content/pdf/TCDStrategicPlan2006_English.pdf|title=Strategic Plan Update 2006 |website=Trinity College Dublin|access-date=23 July 2016|archive-date=26 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160826051326/http://www.tcd.ie/about/content/pdf/TCDStrategicPlan2006_English.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
