Kimmage Development Studies Centre (DSC) was a private third level institution based at Kimmage Manor in Dublin, Ireland from 1974 to July 2018. It provided courses in Development Studies since 1974 as well as other training courses aimed at the International Development Sector, development practitioners and activists. In July 2018 the academic and professional training programmes of Kimmage DSC were transferred to a newly established Department of International Development at Maynooth University, Ireland's first department of this kind. The company formerly known as Kimmage DSC changed its name to the Shanahan Research Group (SRG), which has continued to operate from Kimmage Manor, supporting doctoral research in international development. SRG completed a voluntary winding down process in early 2022 following successful completion of the doctoral studies of several fellows.
