Students block tourists from seeing Book of Kells over increase in price of accommodation

STUDENTS have blocked tourists from accessing the Book of Kells, as part of a protest against an increase in rent on the Trinity College campus.

Trinity College student unions held a protest in front of the door leading to the Trinity Library following a 2% increase in accommodation prices on their campus.

Earlier today, Trinity College Dublin confirmed the Old Library of Trinity College Dublin and the Book of Kells were not accessible to the public because of the protest.
