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

[…]on the Minister to act on her word and ensure that the scheme receives adequate investment in order to alleviate this growing crisis. John Logue, President of the Union of Students in Ireland said: “The Eurostat figures show that Ireland’s unemployment rate for under 25s is almost 7% worse than the European average. To combat the growing dangers associated with long term unemployment among 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 […]

ITTSU are staging a sit in protest to highlight the Students’ Union’s need for a secretary.

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 […]

Union of Students in Ireland statement

[…]lives. This racism takes many forms: being turned away for accommodation, racial profiling at the border and abuse on the streets to name just a few. This affects students on our campuses and also in wider society. We are committed to tackling racism with Higher Education Institutions and at all levels of Irish society. The system of Direct Provision is an inhumane and racist system that must be abolished. We believe that ending Direct Provision is a step towards making this nation more inclusive to the refugees and asylum seekers who come here and the USI will continue to campaign, […]

‘No announcement of funding for reduction in Student Contribution Charge is not acceptable’

[…]move to a fully publicly funded higher education system, which is free at the point of access, in order to make third level accessible to all and not just for those who can afford the significant costs. And while USI welcomes that Government has ruled out student loans as an approach to funding higher education, it is frustrating that student contributions will continue to be a key part of the funding stream. USI President, Clare Austick said: “We welcome that this conversation is happening and that we finally have some detail on how government plans to fund higher education 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. Read the full text of the open letter […]

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 […]

USI urges Minister for Health to back international students health insurance bill

[…]health insurance. No other group in the country is required to have private health insurance. In order to rectify this anomaly and ensure equality for all students, Senator Malcolm Byrne has introduced a Seanad Private Members Bill titled the Health Insurance (International Students) (Amendment) Bill 2021. This Bill is a simple Bill and would remove international students from the definition of ordinarily resident, thereby removing the legal requirement for them to have very expensive private health insurance and allowing them access more affordable and tailored insurance that meets all requirements. We would urge you to support this Bill and to work with other Government colleagues to help protect the higher education sector […]
