In May, student activists across Irish universities, notably Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin, staged encampments to protest academic connections with Israel, calling for an end to perceived complicity in the ongoing violence in Gaza. The protests were marked by a strong sense of solidarity among students, some of whom felt that the ‘genocide’ of Palestinians outweighed their academic concerns. As a result of their efforts, the universities are now working towards addressing issues like ethical investment and human rights, though frustrations over the pace of change remain.
