The college expects a prompt return to normal campus affairs for staff, students and the public

A protest encampment on the grounds of Trinity College Dublin, which included a blockade at the entrance to the Book of Kells Experience, has been ended by students.

In response to the blockade of the highly popular tourist attraction, Trinity decided to fine the student union over €214,000 for financial losses, claiming that the protest was "unauthorised".

"The encampment and blockade on Trinity College Dublin’s campus will end today following successful talks between the university’s senior management and the protestors," the statement read. Senior Dean Prof. Eoin O Sullivan, who led the talks on behalf of Trinity, said: "We are glad that this agreement has been reached and are committed to further constructive engagement on the issues raised. We thank the students for their engagement."
