Masked student protestors interrupted a conferring ceremony for former taoiseach Bertie Ahern and peace campaigner Professor Monica McWilliams at Dublin City University (DCU).

As Mr Ahern approached the podium to address the audience at the Helix Theatre, a small group of protestors wearing white masks stood up in the gallery and shouted: “Bertie Ahern does not deserve any award.”
