The ousted president of University College Dublin (UCD) Students' Union has said she was voted out of her post for holding anti-abortion views.
Students voted to impeach Katie Ascough last week after she stopped information on abortion from being published in a magazine aimed at first year students.
Campaigners said she had repeatedly acted against the union's stance against Ireland's strict abortion laws.
But they denied her removal was about her "personal views".
'Possible prosecution'
Some 4,540 students - or 69% of those who voted - were in favour of impeachment, while 2,320 voted against.
