The divestment process will be completed by June following a meeting with Trinity student representatives who have been demanding that the college sever ties with Israel

Trinity College has announced that it has begun a divestment process in companies operating within the Occupied Palestinian Territory , a move which aligns with the Irish Government's official position.

Irish MEP Clare Daly made an appearance at the protest on Sunday. In a speech she said that their actions, which are aimed at breaking Trinity’s investment and academic ties with Israel, will "change history". The college highlighted that its position is in line with that taken by Government with respect to divestment in businesses in the OTP.
