Ms Robinson was last night said to have "no knowledge" about the new centre. And Trinity College said Ms Robinson had no role in securing funding for the initiative. In February, at an event in Trinity College, Ms Robinson was asked by reporters whether she regretted the Dubai visit. Ms Robinson added she had spoken out before about human rights violations in the UAE and would do so again. Trinity College said Ms Robinson had no involvement in seeking a donation from the Al Maktoum Foundation for the centre.
