Trinity students hold a sit in over repeat fees and rent increases

Students at Trinity College Dublin are holding a rally today to highlight their ongoing protest over repeat exam fees.

Around 40 students occupied the University Dining Hall for the second time last night. They're angry at the introduction of a €450 fee for repeats, something which Trinity's president says the board will examine at the next meeting. Mary Hartnett from the Take Back Trinity Campaign says the President's comments aren't enough to end the sit-in.
