A pro-Palestinian encampment at UCD protesting the university’s ties to Israel has come to an end after a month, following an agreement reached between students and the academic institution.
The encampment, which started on May 11 was organised by a Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) group established by UCD students last autumn, which said it had between 200–250 members.
