[…]forward to seeing what these officers will bring to USI next year”. Speaking at the count today, referendum campaign lead and Vice President for Welfare, Cian Power, said, “Being the Vice President for the Dublin Region and leading this referendum showed the mettle of USI.

[…]or convicted of a crime. This intolerable, abusive behaviour has happened repeatedly, with this latest large-scale leaking and sharing of private images being particularly invasive. USI is demanding a commitment from Government to tackle this issue, which has left many people vulnerable and damaged as a result.

An Taoiseach Enda Kenny recently told European leaders that youth unemployment is ‘an abomination’. Tánaiste Éamon Gilmore tells us he has reached an agreement with the OECD to develop an action plan for Ireland, to tackle a crisis that has left nearly 30% of Irish 15-24 year olds unemployed.
