In a statement posted on X, outgoing TCD students union president László Molnárfi said: “Students at Trinity College Dublin have set up an encampment for Palestine, demanding that their university cut ties with Israel as per BDS principles supported by the vast majority of students and staff.” Earlier on Friday, TCD management defended its decision to fine the college’s students’ union €214,000 for financial losses incurred by disruptive protests throughout the year.

In a statement, Trinity College Dublin said it was a not-for-profit organisation which could not survive solely on Government funding and depends on other sources of income.
