USI President, Lorna Fitzpatrick said: “The ban on evictions was reassuring for many international students, but the concerns about being able to pay rent remain.

Another aim is to emphasise to students the importance of […]
[…]means that almost 4 in 5 politicians are still male. While there is a long way to go to achieve true gender balance in politics, the gender quota is a good start.

[…]horrific attack. We also want to pay a special commendation to Caio Benicio, the Brazilian Deliveroo driver who stopped the assailant and put his life on the line to save other people, along with others that helped too. “USI joined the ICTU protest today to add our voices to the condemnation of the riots that took place on Thursday evening, led by the far right using the attack as a mechanism to spread racism and hate. Ireland does have a racism and far-righted problem and we must continue to stand against it and work to eradicate it. Before last week, […]

Today, their role is still disruption but a different kind – instead of focusing on freedom of country from foreign rule they are pursuing freedom from the chains of inequality. In 1916, anyone wanting to reach wide audiences needed to do so through the church or traditional media. Today, Ireland’s youth are more empowered through social and digital creation and consumption with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Snapchat. They do not need a pulpit in a packed Cathedral […]
