With Trinity College saying it will address the issue of the encampment as an 'internal process', Education Correspondent Emma O Kelly assesse whether this will be enough to end the process.

It welcomed reports of a Gaza ceasefire, condemned"the onslaught on Gaza", said it supported the International Court of Justice's finding on genocide, announced the establish of a task force to consider links to Israeli universities and other institutions, and said it would align with the Government’s decision to divest from investments in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

They also raised the fact that the college facilitates student exchanges with Israeli institutions. They want the college to revisit all of this. May is traditionally the time when undergraduates vacate Trinity’s stunning city centre campus and are replaced by hordes of tourists. These coming months are when the Book of Kells comes into its own, bringing in much needed revenue for the college.

She recounted phone conversations she had with her mother and her grandfather on Sunday morning."They are all proud of me and of all of us", she said. Some of these students say they will stay in the encampment for as long as it takes, others would like to but say they can’t. This law student is starting a job placement next week.
