A group of University College Cork students who are protesting over the war in Gaza have refused to move or remove an encampment in UCC's main quad ahead of conferrings on Friday. 

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) group also said they no longer wish to engage with the “current structure of negotiations” with the university.
