Trinity College Dublin protest

Sir, – The decision of Trinity College Dublin to divest from investments in Israeli companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and that appear on the UN blacklist is to be welcomed. At a time when many feel powerless to act against the war in Gaza, student protesters in Trinity College Dublin have shown moral leadership. – Yours, etc,

CHRIS FITZPATRICK,

Dublin 6.
