[…]the 1970s. This Wednesday, 27th November at 12.45pm, the Industrial Relations Bill to strengthen the Joint Labour Committee (JLC) system will be brought before the Seanad by Senator Ged Nash. JLC’s are bargaining bodies in low wage sectors where the workers are insufficiently organised. Currently JLCs set minimum conditions and rates of pay for low paid sectors of the workforce. However, there has been resistance by employers to the establishment of a JLC in the hotel and hospitality industries. In 2016, the EuroStudent survey which received 16,866 valid responses from students in Ireland, highlighted that over three-quarters […]

[…]long-term decision to invest in a publicly-funded third level education model, as outlined in the the Cassells report – a report published over 15 months ago on higher education funding. USI President Michael Kerrigan warned that, ‘Education is in the red. Don’t be fooled by the propaganda of a student loan. An income-contingent student loan outlined in the Cassels report is a drastic increase in fees from €3,000 to €5,000 a year in disguise. The moment we accept higher fees and a loan scheme, we are saddling people with €20,000 of mortgage-modeled debt and forcing them to emigrate. The message […]
[…]Technology Tralee on Monday November 12th at 12pm and will be run in colleges across the country. The theme for the campaign this year is positive mental health and the promotion of support services available to students and young people. The tagline of the campaign is ‘What Makes You Smile?’ The campaign aims to tackle the increasingly negative outlook that many students have, due to financial stress and other factors, by asking them to identify and value the smaller things in life that make us smile and impact positively on our mental health and well-being. Thousands of packs will be distributed […]
[…]Executive Director. Today’s calls have come as part of the Promote the Vote campaign run by the NYCI, the USI and SpunOut to encourage young voters to register and to use their vote in the upcoming local and European elections. The organisations are hosting an election hustings debate where young voters can engage with candidates in the Science Gallery, Dublin today (20.05.14), from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm. #YouthVote14 Sources: *Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes European Elections May 2014 Opinion Poll 3rd–15th May, 2014.

[…]the conversation and take the time to talk to friends, classmates or family about mental health. The theme of ‘More Talk, More Action’ is to talk more and take action for your wellbeing. ‘Chats for Change’ is the perfect way to enjoy a cup of tea while reaching out and talking to someone. We are delighted to partner with mental health organisations that will help spread the message across Ireland and are very grateful for the support of Lyons.” Liz Finlay, Lyons Brand Manager said: “Here at Lyons Tea, it’s all about putting the talk into tea and that is […]
[…]“that the majority of graduates have lowered their expectations in this area to suit straitened times.” The survey also reported that the median starting salary for a graduate in 2012 was €24,000-€25,999. This is down from its peak in 2008, when it was in the €26,000– €27,999 range. The responsibility for ensuring that graduates have the requisite skills for the workplace lies not only with individual, but with the employer and our education system. Employee feedback received by Glassdoor on employee satisfaction shows that Facebook has a satisfaction rating of 94%, Google receives 90% and McKinsey & Company receives a 91% rating from their […]
[…]and those responsible must now ensure that it is our most vulnerable who are the first to see the fruits of our recovery. No party who has served in government in the last generation can abdicate responsibility for the situation we are now in. However young people and students are not interested in political point scoring and the tit-for-tat remarks that dominate our political conversations. Young people want candidates and political parties to demonstrate kind of leadership that befits the positions they seek and to map out a clear path to strong, sustainable future. The Union of Students in Ireland […]
[…]backgrounds, who are generally much more debt averse, face in making the decision as to whether they can afford to attend college. Access to third level education should be a right for young people in this country, and should never be seen as a privilege. Having a highly educated and productive workforce is a benefit to society as a whole, and not just to the individual who attends college, and this must remain a fundamental principle of the Irish Higher Education system.” USI believes that the significant drop off in access to third level experienced in the UK, which in […]
[…]to confide in you about their self-harm, you can start to help them immediately. First, honour their trust in you by showing them kindness, love and compassion. Second, help them get the support they need. Share info and supports with them and encourage them to make an appointment with their GP and to reach out to Pieta House themselves. You can also support them if necessary by asking their permission to contact Pieta House on their behalf, and reassure the person that you’ll come with them for their appointment, even if they’re over 18.” Pieta House can help you talk […]
[…]Michael Kerrigan warned that, ‘Students are taking to the streets because education is in the red. The government have been kicking the can down the road on the issue of higher education funding, while 10 out of 14 Institutes of Technology are in serious financial difficulty being starved of funding. It’s time to invest, and it’s time to make the right decision to publicly invest in third-level education.’ Mr Kerrigan went on to say, ‘In a country where generations may never get a mortgages or a home, saddling more debt onto children or increasing fees cannot be the answer to […]
[…]collectively by society through general taxation, corporation tax and a higher education levy. The market model of student loan schemes is not appropriate; it places an unacceptable individual debt burden on students and commodifies higher education into a product which can be sold.” The magnitude of the funding cut over a relatively short period of time is having a profound impact on the sector’s capacity to function. In addition to the budget cuts, student tuition fees for undergraduate programmes have increased to €3,000 per year. The new proposed student loan scheme would deter students from applying to college and place […]
[…]from Louth had been invited. Councillor Tomas Sharkey of Sinn Fein said that students should re-frame the discussion on the student maintenance grant. He urged them to move away from the language of entitlement and focus instead on what the grant provides. “Don’t call it a grant. Call it food. Call it accommodation. Call it books. Because that’s what it is,” said Councillor Sharkey. At the end of the meeting, a cross-party coalition of Councillors committed to bringing a motion to Louth County Council, which will be sent to Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn. The provisional wording of the motion […]
[…]little confusing sometimes especially when it comes to sex and making out. It can be unclear what the other person is thinking or how intimate they wish to get, we are not mind-readers after all. However, before you take things any further, it’s important to obtain their permission, which means their consent. A lack of understanding of what is meant by consent and that consent is crucial in all sexual activity can be a contributing factor for unwanted sexual activity and assault. Maybe you’re a little unsure about what consent is – and what it isn’t? You may have heard […]

[…]pursued. The definition of cost rental will need to be clarified and must be affordable. For us, the “other models” should include publicly funded projects as opposed to the continuation of the National Student Accommodation Strategy policy of relying on the private market. There are quite a number of reviews and examinations related to the higher education sector detailed in the programme and the USI strongly believes that these need to be undertaken with urgency, and all relevant stakeholders including students, staff and student representatives included in the discussions such as the review of the Back to Education Allowance to […]

[…]with Businesses such as Aramark, Canadian companies. Congress Further Notes with Concern: The amount of work needing to be done on Sustainability, between the SAVES project, The Sustainable Development Goals, CETA, helping MO’s fully realize their full potential in climate activism, and with the implementation of a new event for sustainability, the workload is simply too large for a single officer to lead and is too important and urgent to not have direct representation. Congress Therefore Mandates: That USI adopts a radical opposition stance to CETA and will campaign regardless of implementation to safeguard against the implementation of any agreements, […]
[…]Academic Representative of the Year, Outstanding Mental Health Activism and Students’ Union Team of the Year. Commenting on the awards, USI Deputy President and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Kevin McStravock said: “The SAAIs recognise the incredible commitment of Students’ Unions, student activists and student-led organisations across Ireland in improving the lives of students, not just on campus but in wider society. Despite all the challenges COVID-19 posed for them, students have demonstrated incredible leadership in running campaigns, advocating for their peers and raising money for charity. “Those nominated this year are fantastic ambassadors, not only for their colleges and […]
[…]many are unable to continue with part-time work because they are at risk of carrying and spreading the virus while supporting the health system during this pandemic.” Student nurses are also concerned about being out of work for long periods while waiting to be tested for the virus, which is putting extra strain on the health services. Lorna said: “Like other frontline health workers, student nurses have to use the general public HSE line to get tested for COVID-19. We reiterate GPs and frontline health workers’ calls for a specific line of testing to be introduced for student nurses and other health […]
[…]a derogatory manner, and always unchallenged.” Finally, Amee simply asks the State to treat her the same as her straight family members. “I am not asking for anything special, I am asking for equality. How can the government of our country deny one of their citizens the right to marry the love of their life. I want to be given the exact same rights as my straight brother. I want to be given the exact same rights as my parents. In 21st century Ireland, how can we, the Irish nation, still not see equality as a priority within our society?” Amee […]
[…]King, General Secretary of ICTU, said, “The costs being borne by student teachers is yet another example of the obstacles they and many young people face before fully entering the labour market. Clearly, gaining gaining quality experience in the workplace is something that must be supported, but not at the risk to student learning and health, as indicated by the report. “Congress supports this new collaboration in education, which will help to improve student conditions whilst recognising and striving for improvement in working conditions for all young workers. We will continue to work with the student movement and all affiliate […]

[…]at €2,250. Both his parents are working, his mother has three jobs, and yet they still can’t gather the €5,000 necessary to send both Patrick and his sister to college this September. His argument is simple and it’s one that USI has echoed over the years: If the Government makes third level education financially prohibitive to Leaving Cert students then less of them will go to college and Ireland’s workforce will become unskilled, uneducated and uncompetitive. Unemployment will increase and Ireland will, as a society, regress. Essentially, cutting investment in education and making it more difficult to attain a third […]
[…]at 7%. Data suggests that the purity or potency of most illicit substances is increasing and that the market for substances is becoming more varied and accessible. This phase of the campaign focuses on two specific drugs MMDA (ecstasy) and Ketamine (K); two harm reduction posters have been designed to give harm reduction advice and information on accessing support. “USI is delighted to be working closely with the HSE and Drugs.ie on this harm reduction campaign.” Annie Hoey, USI President, said. “Ongoing use of a variety of substances by young people and students has rightly attracted attention and concern due […]

Furthermore, poor international research mobility, the highest postgraduate fees in the EU, funding gaps and lack […]
[…]alcohol consumption in Ireland doubled between 1970 and 2003, one the largest increases in the world during that period (Byrne, 2010). Congress recognises: Though consumption has fallen slightly since 2003, Irish consumption at 13.4 litres of pure alcohol per person is the second highest in the OECD (Mongan, 2007). Congress notes with concern: That the increase in alcohol consumption has caused a corresponding increase in alcohol related harms in Irish society, including alcohol related accidents and illnesses, alcohol related crime, alcohol related domestic abuse and alcohol related absences from work (Hope, 2008). Congress understands: That the Department of Health (RoI) […]
[…]information on where to get help from their institution and only just under 10 per cent said they knew how to report an incident.

Over 1,000 of the female students who took part in the survey […]
