An unnamed pharmacy student lost his bid to remain anonymous in High Court proceedings over plagiarism on 6 February 2026, when Judge Garrett Simons dismissed his application for reporting restrictions.

The order remains in force for 28 days to allow an appeal; if no appeal is made, the student's anonymity will be lifted. The case concerns his challenge to Trinity College Dublin's decision to withdraw him from a master's pharmacy course after findings that included plagiarism and breaches of the student code of conduct.
