Griffith College Dublin (GCD) (Irish: Coláiste Uí Ghríofa) is one of the longest-established private third level (higher education) colleges in Dublin, Ireland, and the largest such institution in the country. Begun as Business and Accounting Training in 1974, and having started to award degrees in 1990, it today has four campuses, two in Dublin, and one each in Cork and Limerick, the latter two based on acquisitions.
