Trinity College Dublin - Wednesday 25 March 2020



The Government announcement on Tuesday 24 March of additional containment measures to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extension of the closure of the country's Universities until Sunday 19 April, has meant that that the Trinity Ball Committee has had no choice but to cancel the Trinity Ball 2020 which was due to take place on Friday 17 April.



The Trinity Ball Committee is conscious of the important part that the Trinity Ball plays in students' experience of College but, at this time of an international crisis such as none of us has ever witnessed, the Committee is certain all Trinity Ball 2020 patrons will appreciate the impossibility of proceeding with the event.



The Trinity Ball Committee wishes to acknowledge the enormous amount of work that has already taken place across Trinity College in preparation for the Trinity Ball 2020 and to publicly state its appreciation for that work.



The Trinity Ball Committee wishes to assure all Trinity Ball 2020 patrons that they will receive a full refund for the ticket/s they purchased. The reimbursement process will take some time but will be accomplished as quickly as possible. The Trinity College Dublin Students' Union staff and Dublin University Central Societies Committee staff who initially processed all payments have access to the details necessary to facilitate reimbursement. The Trinity Ball Committee would ask for patrons' patience and to refrain from emailing the Trinity Ball address with individual requests for updates.
