Dublin: Trinity College Dublin protest camp to end

Students at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) have announced the end of a pro-Palestinian encampment after what they described as an “historic” agreement with the university.

About 100 students set up an encampment inside the university grounds on Friday, demanding an end to college business and academic links with Israel because of the war in Gaza.

A TCD spokesperson said an agreement had been reached on Wednesday.

TCD said that the university “will complete a divestment from investments in Israeli companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and appear on the UN blacklist in this regard”.

The protest led to restricted access to Trinity and members of the public, including international tourists, were unable to visit the renowned Book of Kells.

The group also flew Palestinian flags from front windows of the college and occasionally addressed the public through an upstairs window, using a megaphone.
