Trinity College Dublin has agreed to put a rent freeze on its student accommodation for the upcoming academic year.
It follows a blockade of the Book of Kells exhibition in September organised by the students' union, in protest at a proposed 2 per cent increase to the current rent.
According to Trinity News, a decision to freeze rent for the 2024/2025 academic year was made at a meeting of the Trinity finance committee yesterday.

A document was presented to the committee by Trinity's S-U, stating 93 per cent of students find current rents unaffordable.
