University College Dublin (UCD) has told staff and students that it has no investments in Israel and no bilateral partnerships with Israeli institutions.

In an email to students and staff, it has confirmed that it is involved in eleven EU research projects that also have Israeli partners and said it "fully respect the academic freedom of UCD researchers to continue these research collaborations".

The university was responding to an encampment protest established by its Students' Union on the grounds of the college yesterday evening.

The students made a number of demands of the college, including that it disclose all investments with Israeli companies or institutions and that it call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
