[…]LOST TO OVERSEAS GAA TEAMS , STUDENTS WARN IRISH students have warned that GAA teams from London, New York and Australia will soon end up dominating the All-Ireland Championships.

More than 120,000 young people between the ages of 15-24 have emigrated in the last four years. And, of those who have stayed behind, one in two graduates had no work at all in 2012. “Behind London’s great achievement in […]
[…]students.” However, the USI said that an already broken loan system will only further fracture the structure of the Irish education system. In supposed times of recovery, 30,000 people have already emigrated from Ireland this year alone. The USI said this loan system will only push people further away and outlined that other countries in Europe offer better pay and lower registration fees, making the cost of education cheaper abroad. “The federal 3rd level loan system did not work in the UK or the USA.

[…]proposed the adoption of a new National Jobs Strategy for Young People to tackle the problem. Together, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), the Union of Students in Ireland (USI) and the Irish Second Level Students’ Union (ISSU), have called for an end to the ‘lock-out’ of young people from the jobs market and proposed a range of measures to improve access to the workplace and enhance employment skills. The three organisations are seeking joint meetings with “all relevant government ministers and departments” on foot of the proposals. The measures are contained in a new, joint publication – Locked out? […]

[…]stipends. USI Vice President for Postgraduate Affairs, Waqar Ahmed, has signed an open letter from the newly formed PhDs’ Collective Action Union (PCAU) requesting a meeting between the group’s Acting President and the various PhD funding agencies to discuss how stipends can be brought to a liveable and equitable level. As USI has stated on numerous occasions, PCAU says the current PhD stipend is insufficient on several accounts and the current cost-of-living crisis and inflation levels have promoted this new action. The letter, which has almost 500 signatures, states: “The Central Statistics Office (CSO) reported an approximate 9.1 per cent […]

[…]Union Congress Notes: Individual MO’s put a lot of work into destress campaigns around Exam times. As a national Union, USI organises campaigns throughout the year that aid/support these local campaigns.
