A spokesperson for Trinity College said: “In the interest of student confidentiality, it is our policy not to comment on individual student cases.”
“In the event of any incident that may affect our students’ safety occurring on campus, all appropriate actions are taken by the university in order to manage the situation safely, lawfully and as set down by our student discipline policy.”
