PARTING SHOT

A ceremony has taken place place on the island of Inishbofin to reinter 13 human skulls that were stolen by academics more than 100 years ago.

The skulls, thought to be around 400 years old, were taken from a monastery on the island off Ireland’s west coast by two researchers affiliated with Trinity College in 1890.

As part of a process to formally review legacy issues since its foundation, Trinity set up a group to examine whether the skulls should be returned, as well as whether the university’s library, named after Irish philosopher and slaveowner George Berkeley, should be renamed.
