In addition, postgraduate students will be able to borrow up to €7,500 and defer repayments for up to one year while they complete their course of study. Joe O’ Connor, President of the Union of Students in Ireland, said “The cost of studying at postgraduate level is extremely prohibitive for very many people, and this has been an ongoing issue […]

Amnesty International has conducted a thorough review of the prosecution evidence and found no credible evidence against him. According to Amnesty, Ibrahim is being “detained solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly”.

USI support calls from HIV Ireland for the Irish Government to re-evaluate the current approach to ending HIV transmission in Ireland considering record high rates of newly notified cases of HIV.

We also remember those who we lost and pay tribute to the people and organisations working to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS and assisting people living with […]
[…]are worrying about whether they can afford to go to college. The level of the grant as it stands today gives opportunity to the least well-off candidates in the country to attend third level education and develop skills for life. Cutting the grant or shifting the thresholds downwards would certainly price even more students out of education – and that means pricing students out of a future.” Download the submission here: USI_Education Is_Pre-budget Submission_hi (2) In addition to the release of the pre-budget campaign, USI confirmed the date for a national rally for education on 8 October […]

Students from across the Southern region are gathering today to speak together as one voice. Across the country students are uniting with one powerful voice that has considerable voting power registered behind it. Education is the long term gateway to economic recovery; however our current government is too concerned with focusing on the short term and not the long term future of this country. We are calling on the Minister Quinn and his counterparts in Leinster House to listen up […]
[…]IT Sligo, St. Angela’s Sligo, Athlone IT and the USI (Union of Students in Ireland) united today at Knock Airport for a photo stunt to hammer home the message to the government that emigration is an issue that needs to be sorted before more of the youth of Ireland leave to find employment that they just cannot get in Ireland. Kevin Donoghue, Vice President for Border, Midlands and Western Region of USI said: “Emigration is a serious issue for people of all ages. As many as two hundred people are leaving this country every day, and are taking their skills […]
[…]future of students now is crucial to the economic recovery of Ireland. Paddy Guiney USI VP for Campaigns said: “Students today face many challenges and that’s even before they engage with their degree. The rise in the cost of living, ever-growing student charges, and year on year student supports getting cut across the board, have left a place in college a distant reality for many students. Students are demanding the government to see that we cannot take any more cuts. We’re demonstrating outside the Dail and asking our elected representatives to protect students, protect future generations and protect families. We […]

I want USI to help rebuild communities on campuses across the island and to getting students back on the streets in big numbers fighting for their rights and for a better society for all.” The full USI Coiste Gnó (Executive) […]
[…]but any attempt to cut an already drained sector will be met with resistance. Every student here today has been registered to vote, either at one of our drives or on the bus on the way here. Parliamentary TDs should take note that any cuts to essential educational services will be remembered at voting time. A highly educated work force is beneficial to society as a whole. Graduates make higher contributions to revenue and are more likely to become employers. That is before we talk about the thousands of jobs third level education supports throughout the country, directly and indirectly. […]
[…]thousands of new units of student accommodation being built across Dublin, many of them are run by private companies like Shanowen”, Kerrigan said. ”There is no point in trying to catch up with the lack of accommodation being built if students are forced to starve because they can’t afford rent just to get a degree. The market will not regulate itself, although there is new student accommodation opening across the country, there is not enough to meet the rising number of Irish and International students. Without legislation, this situation will only get worse.” Purpose-built student accommodation is not subject to […]

[…]resign as leader of the Government, the people should be given the chance to say who they want to run the country. The students we represent have been left struggling by this Government, with students sleeping in cars, on sofas, dropping out, or working full-time jobs along with studying, because of the cost of accommodation and going to college. And so, USI completely refutes Taoiseach Varadkar’s assertion that the economy and society is in a good place or that we are out of the cost-of-living crisis. However, if there is no general election and Fine Gael is simply allowed to […]

[…]is our nation’s shame. This is our nation’s failure. That failure belongs to all of us. The shame is that even today no progress has been made, that today we see the catastrophe of our failure to engage with women’s rights issues, the failure of the State to protect over half of its people. We have many politicians in this country – and we have some very excellent ones – but the reality is that we have very few public representatives in Ireland. Because there is a difference between playing at politics and actual representation. We need real public representatives […]

As families and friends mourn their loved ones today and in the days to come, the supporting and caring role of the whole student community, and the services of the Students’ Unions and colleges will come into their own and prove invaluable. There isn’t a worse way to start the new year in college – but in times of such sorrow, the support of the college community is acutely needed by the people affected. Ar dheis Dé go raibh […]

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 level that reflects the actual […]

[…]by last year’s SUSI grants processing debacle achieved one thing, it was to highlight the fundamental importance of the student maintenance grant to students and families up and down the country. Our grants system is deeply flawed, deeply insufficient for the poorest in our society, and in dire need of reform. It remains, however, the one thing that manages to keep tens of thousands of our best and brightest afloat long enough to become the highly-skilled, highly-qualified graduates our economy relies on. That is why it is vitally important that having been targeted in four consecutive Budgets, the student maintenance grant […]
[…]it falls short of the increase to €25,000 USI called for in its Pre-Budget Submission, the amount recommended in the Independent National Review of State Supports for PhD Researchers, commissioned by Minister Harris’s office.
