Irish writer succeeded in London college (10)

I believe the answer is:

goldsmiths

'london college' is the definition.

'irish writer succeeded' is the wordplay.
'irish writer' becomes 'goldsmith' (Oliver Goldsmith).
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'goldsmith'+'s'='GOLDSMITHS'

'in' is the link.
