A University Times poll of 852 students finds a majority will vote against the proposal to remove Trinity College Dublin’s Student Union President, Tom Lenihan.

The move to impeach Mr Lenihan, son of the late Finance Minister Brian Lenihan, came after he was caught cheating in a law exam in May.

Mr Lenihan subsequently apologised, resat his exam and told how he was battling with depression and suffered a panic attack on the morning he took a note into his exam.

Students will be voting up until Friday afternoon and the results will be announced on Friday evening.

More than 70 Trinity students in groups of two, including Rosie Goulding and Nicole O’Sullivan, top, left Dublin yesterday morning.

Goal? To get as far away from Trinity as possible without spending any money within 36 hours.

Some have reached Singapore already.

“Students have already hitchhiked, blagged and snuck their way on to planes, trains and ferries. While many have scattered across Europe, some are en route to places such as Dubai and even Argentina! The project has raised over 7,000 already and is part of the Law Societies fundraising festival Lawlapolooza and all proceeds will be going to Trinity VDP (Vincent De Paul) and DU Amnesty!”

Read messages from the teams and find out where they’ve landed so far here.
