A decision by students to blockade a key tourist attraction on the campus was cited as a reason for the fine.

Regarded as Ireland’s most prestigious university, Trinity College Dublin fined its undergraduate student union 214,285 euro after a series of demonstrations about fees and rent as well as pro-Palestinian solidarity protests.

Speaking to the PA news agency, the president of the students’ union accused senior management at the university of “an ill-fated attempt” to threaten and suppress its protest. The student activist said he and others had been called for a disciplinary hearing with the junior dean.
