Speaking now to big turn-out of Trinity students against repeat exam fees & commercialisation of college. Students occupying a building. We need a nationwide revolt of students against fees! #TakeBackTrinity
Hundreds turn out earlier today for #takebacktrinity protest against the College's recent decision to target vulnerable students for profit & their treatment of protesting students.
Education is a right, and rights aren't given they're taken.
Hung out at the brilliant #TakeBackTrinity occupation today!
Inspirational work by the student activists. Solidarity ✊
#takebacktrinity when you spot some of the students with whom you had a debate the previous week about inequality, democratic process and the right to protest out front and centre in an action against student fees, probably the best answer ever to a tutorial debate 😉
Amazing student protest at TCD today. Occupying students forced college to negotiating table through direct action and faced down the bullying of college provost Prendegast. An inspiration to students across the country. Education is a right not a privilidge #TAKEBACKTRINITY
#TakeBackTrinity students supporting #OccupyTrinity after disgraceful attempt to force an end to occupation by denying access to toilets.
This protest was not a party as so many student protests are made out to be. Hours spent in the rain, dripping water and freezing cold. We would not do this if we did not believe in the cause we are fighting for #TakeBackTrinity
Sinn Féin were proud to stand with students at the #TakeBackTrinity protest earlier today and show our full support & solidarity.
The introduction a flat fee of €450 for supplemental exams must
be reversed.
Education is a right, not a privilege.
The occupiers emerge tired and victorious! They have the attention of Paddy P, they have the backing of the student body, they have the momentum to organise and escalate until #TakeBackTrinity is a reality and not just a slogan ✊
“The students united will never be defeated” - Hundreds of TCD students chant #TakeBackTrinity
Students protestors from the #TakeBackTrinity campaign are currently blocking the Book of Kells in peaceful protest of proposed supplemental examination fees. Some students are using the time to study and read.
During #TakeBackTrinity in 2018, we became experts at shutting down the Book of Kells.
Students should consider recreating a socially-distanced version of same ✊🏽
Protest is getting bigger here at trinity. DM me for voice clips from students and Brid Smith TD #TakeBackTrinity #OccupyTCD
