Speak Up: BAI Launch Public Consultation on 3 year Strategy
[…]needs to be well positioned to regulate the new media era, and keep a core focus on audience in order to guide its future work. It was noted at the launch that although there has been a vast change in the way media content is now consumed, this change is fragmented demographically and traditional mediums are still strong. At the launch, Damian Loscher, Managing Director of the research company Ipsos MRBI said: “How we consume TV and radio is changing, but not at the frantic pace we have been led to believe. By and large, we remain creatures of habit […]
Students facing ‘extreme stress’ over lack of rent refunds
[…]with messages from students who are losing thousands of Euro in rent they had to pre-pay. And in order to publicly highlight the accommodation issues students are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the USI created an online portal to enable members to share their stories with the union. In one message, Orla, a student in St Angela’s College said: “Having to pay over €1,000 for accommodation that I can’t be in is very upsetting and challenging. Now I have to start paying a deposit for next year’s accommodation not knowing if I’ll be able to afford it. My usual summer […]

USI backs calls by disability activists for the Government’s Green Paper on Disability Reform to be scraped
[…]other such payments. It is also completely wrong to talk about putting people into ‘tiers’ in order to decided what support they should get. “USI, along with our members, calls for the Disability Allowance be increased to cover the cost-of-living in Ireland. But the most important thing that disability activists and their supporters are demanding is proper inclusion in the preparation of plans that will affect their whole lives. There must be meaning engagement and partnership. USI is preparing a submission to the Department of Social Protection to this affect and will continue to support protests like today’s.” USI urges […]

USI calls for major investment in Youth Guarantee as statistics highlight 30.8% unemployment for under 25s
[…]young people, meaningful Government investment is required in a Youth Guarantee scheme that restores a sense of pride and hope in our young people. Too many are standing in dole queues and too many are forced to emigrate when they would rather stay at home and contribute to the country’s recovery. An adequately resourced Youth Guarantee scheme would offer the employment, education and training that will help plug the generational drain. If the Government doesn’t back this scheme with meaningful investment then they risk losing the talent and energy that will drive our economy’s recovery.” -ENDS- For more information contact […]

HEA Chief breaks with Government on cut of postgraduate grants
[…]arbitrary ‘cliffs’ in relation to the distance a student must live from their institution in order to qualify for assistance. Students’ Union Training is organised by the Union of Students in Ireland (USI). USI President John Logue said: “Tom Boland’s statement on this issue re-affirms what USI has known all along: that the decision to cut the postgraduate maintenance grant was hastily made and with little thought of the longterm consequences for both students and the State. Postgraduate qualifications are becoming a pre-requisite for many high-skilled jobs. With his decision to cut the maintenance grant, the Minister ensured that attaining a […]
USI urges Labour: Stand up for students
[…]USI urges the Minister and his colleagues to urgently seek a re-negotiation of the agreement in order to ensure that students and their families won’t be targeted for further cutbacks and fee increases. The pay of senior academics and staff, incremental wage increases and entitlements all need to be examined before Budget 2013. Further cuts to the grant and increases in tuition fees are inequitable and unsustainable ways to fund a sector that is overflowing with wasteful spending. UCC President Michael Murphy is now on record saying that he finds it ‘challenging’ to live on €232,000. Dr Murphy is the […]

USI Welcome the Re-Introduction of Postgraduate Grants and Encourage Students to Apply Early
[…]their studies” she said. The postgraduate grant was removed by the Government in 2012 in order to save €50 million per year. The move was criticised heavily at the time by many groups including USI. The decision resulted in a 5% reduction in the number of students applying for postgraduate courses. The postgraduate grant, which will be available for postgraduate students entering college in September 2017, was announced in Budget 2018 and came after a prolonged campaign by USI on the issue. The programme for a Partnership Government contained a commitment “to increase support for postgraduates with a particular focus […]

‘No announcement of funding for reduction in Student Contribution Charge is not acceptable’
[…]and universities, which is needed and will come with reform of our institutions. But we have to stop relying on students and their families to pay such a significant amount towards the funding of higher education. “While there has been mention of bringing down the costs for students through better student grants and reduced student fees, there is no funding allocated for the reduction of the Student Contribution Charge. There needs to be a holistic approach to removing the barriers to third level education and that must involve the scrapping of student fees and bringing the SUSI grant to a […]
Executive uses cancelled Congress week to virtually meet student reps

Our democratic structures are extremely important to us and the Congress Director is currently engaged in this process.” However, while these elements are explored and finalised, Lorna explained that she and the rest of the National Executive are using the time to talk to as many student representatives as possible. She explained: “We are engaged in a number of national spheres, but we are also making sure that we are fully in […]

USI backs call for an urgent increase to postgraduate research stipends
[…]which I have signed on behalf of USI, calls for all stipends to be increased to €28,000 in order to address inflation, the housing and cost-of-living crises, and in recognition of the new government valuation on PhD-level research as seen in their most recent PhD funding initiative.” The open letter goes on to say that that PhD students feel they are not valued, and some have expressed doubts as to the point of continuing when they could get much better-paid jobs in the industry.

Cost of college passes €1,000 per month: Students respond
[…]education as they see the value that it brings, are clearly making enormous sacrifices in order to bring this about. The increasing borrowing of these parents highlighted in the survey continues a worrying trend whereby the most vulnerable families are trapped in a spiral of more and more debt. Any further increases in the costs of college through increased student charges or reductions in the maintenance grant will merely serve to further attack struggling families already crippled by wider recessionary measures. We would call on the Government and Minister Quinn to have the costs of college at the forefront of […]

Re-opening funding package welcome, clarity needed on some aspects
[…]no mention of a change to the Student Contribution Charge. We have called for a €500 reduction to be made to that charge to ease some of the financial pressure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

USI urges Minister for Health to back international students health insurance bill
[…]to help protect the higher education sector in Ireland. International students are huge contributors to third level institutions, our society and the Irish economy as a whole. The increase in these insurance costs since October 2020, will impact the number of students coming to Ireland and there is significant disquiet amongst our students with our member colleges as to how the Government can stand over such an increase, without intervening. The Health Insurance (International Students) (Amendment) Bill 2021 would immediately resolve the issue and help remove the inequality that has been introduced for international students. By supporting the enactment of the Health Insurance (International Students) (Amendment) Bill 2021 you will be […]

[…]USI says Government needs a plan to increase this funding by €11.5 million in order to reach safe counsellor to student ratios to combat the mental health crisis currently affecting our young people, including our students. This crisis was shown in the Jigsaw My World 2 survey where 8,290 of those surveyed were students, and of the over 8,000 student respondents, 10 per cent said that they had attempted suicide. Of those who tried to take their own lives, 54 per cent said they tried to get help afterwards, and of those, 48 per cent said they found it ‘difficult/very difficult’ to […]
USI Fighting to Keep Insurance Rates for International Students Down
[…]thus far have been ruled out of order by the chair. International students already pay extortionate fees to study in this country and should be able to avail of insurance that meets their needs and doesn’t put them out of pocket by hundreds of euros. Moreover, the insurance cover currently used by students go beyond health and also includes repatriation, but under this judgement there will be no repatriation covered, meaning that students are likely to have worse cover than at present. Up to 30,000 students could be affected by the changes, should they be implemented. We are […]

Union of Students in Ireland teams up with UPLIFT to call for signatories to open letter demanding student rent refunds
[…]students have underlying health conditions and have had to move home in order for them to be able to self-isolate away from their shared student accommodation.

Students Call On Senators To Reject Loans Scheme In Favour Of Public Investment In Education
Union of Students in Ireland (USI) today called on Senators to support a Labour private members motion this Wednesday, rejecting any move to implement an income-contingent loan scheme but instead to publicly invest in third level education. In advance of the debate, USI President Michael Kerrigan said, “A decision to go ahead with an income-contingent loan scheme will increase emigration and sends a clear message to our future students: take your €20,000 debt, your degree, and get out.

Students Demand the Right to Access Third-Level Education in Ireland as part of Global Campaign
[…]Higher Education in Ireland is under threat. The judge in the initial ruling recognised that in order to be economically and socially prosperous in today’s society, it was imperative that citizens have access to higher education. The Government, rather than act to legislate on that right, shamefully challenged the ruling.” “Students in Ireland today face a soaring cost of living and the second highest fees in Europe, while Government has actively disinvested in third-level education. Education is a right, not a privilege. Thousands of students have mobilised against student loans, to defend the SUSI grant, and to demand that Government […]
