More than 100 students have staged a protest at the University of Galway against its links with an Israeli research institution with ties to the Israeli military.

The demonstration took place outside the offices of interim president, Professor Peter McHugh, where students highlighted ties with Technion which, they said, has helped to create the AI technology used by the Israeli military in its campaigns in Gaza, Lebanon, and the Occupied Territories.
