The Campaign for Free Education occupied the Stillorgan dual carrageway today for half an hour.

Hundreds of students gathered at 3pm and marched around the campus. The college authorities quickly locked the doors of the main buildings such as the Admin block.

The protest then proceeded to the Dual carrageway. The road was occupied for half an hour.

After the protest, the CFE held a public meeting which filled a lecture theatre. It was agreed that the CFE would protest at the visit of the minister for Education tomorrow.
