Additional stress and pressure will be placed on an already very demanding college experience. “The Government needs to take a grip of the situation and immediately reduce the Student Contribution Charge.

Whilst USI has had no formal relationship with Usit Travel for a number of years, we enjoy working with the firm and hope that the legacy of this cornerstone of the Irish travel market can yet be saved.
