Watch: Trinity students explain why they joined encampment

At Trinity College a meeting between management and student representatives has ended without a resolution to end the pro-Palestinian encampment.

The college's Students Union is calling on the university to end all business and academic links with Israel

Yesterday, Trinity said it would divest from companies that have activities in Occupied Palestinian territory and appear on a UN blacklist.

The students welcomed this but said they would continue the protest until their demands are met in full.

Another meeting was held this evening which Trinity College described as "constructive".

In a statement it said: "Following yesterday's positive meeting further constructive talks were held today between student representatives and Trinity management representatives, the Senior Dean, Eóin O Sullivan and the Dean of Students, Richie Porter, regarding the encampment at the university."

Trinity College said the talks will continue tomorrow.
