TCD board meets after talks with SU on encampment

Trinity College Dublin 's board is meeting this evening to formally agree a statement which it is hoped will end a five-day protest from its Student Union on its campus.

"We had two meetings with college management, at 1pm and 2.30pm and we came to an agreement with college management, that TCD has divested from all the things from Israel that it could in the short-term," he said.It's expected the encampment will end this evening, however it is dependent on the college’s public statement confirming what the Student’s Union is seeking.

Ms Farrell praised the"courageous" acts of the students in Trinity College Dublin, who have"unified with staff" to deliver a"really powerful" message on the massive loss of civilian lives in the enclave. The Bills Office in the Oireachtas has received the draft legislation, and the deputy expressed her hope that it would be"made a priority", allowing her to introduce it in the Dáil before the summer recess in mid-July.
