[…]Union of Students in Ireland stands in solidarity with Trinity College Dublin Students’ Union and the Trinity students who have set up an encampment for Palestine on the campus. USI also strongly condemns attempts by the college to fine the Students’ Union €214,000 for using their right to protest to demand the university cuts ties with Israel, as it carries out genocide against the Palestinian people. TCD Students’ Union and Trinity students have carried out a number of protests against the college’s links with Israel and against attempts by Trinity management to increase rents and fees for students, which […]
[…]student movement, is to stage demonstrations and direct actions to directly tackle Government on the student cost-of-living crisis. In the letter, which is attached, they say: “We can no longer afford to be quiet about the terrible conditions currently impacting students and staff that are breaking the futures of Ireland’s youth, so we are speaking out.” The six main demands are: Permanent funding to bring student counselling services to a 1:1000 ratio of counsellors to students Increase in core grant funding for institutions to plug the €307 million funding gap in the third-level education sector Abolish tuition fees and move to […]

[…]which has been expected since last summer. Instead, on Friday Minister Harris stated: “This vision and policy will inform a new Student Accommodation Strategy, which will be published later this year,” and the Government statement said that the new policy was that “Government will fund the delivery of purpose built student accommodation.” (statement here) But this policy was already announced in November 2022, when Minister Harris said: “This landmark policy response will, for the first time, see the state providing financial support in the construction of on-site student accommodation, and underpins the policy commitments set out in Housing for All. I am […]
[…]of services because they think they are too busy. In its Pre-Budget Submission, and in a statement on World Suicide Prevention Day in September, USI called for Government to increase this funding to €11.5 million in order to reach safe counsellor to student ratios to help combat the mental health crisis currently affecting our young people, including our students. Colette continued: “These aren’t USI recommended ratios, they are the internationally accepted figures. And I think if anyone considers the struggles young people currently face and how many people they know that suffer from mental health issues, they would not think […]
[…]medical transition had made their lives ‘better’. Without change, this Government has blood on their hands.” USI calls on the National Gender Service; Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly; and Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman, to implement the World Professional Association for Transgender Healthcare (WPATH) Standards of Care, which follow an informed consent model. There must be a stark improvement in the standards of Trans healthcare in Ireland, starting with following the informed consent model and allowing GPs to provide Hormone Replacement Therapy to their […]
The Union of Students in Ireland expresses its devastation and grief at the loss of all innocent lives due to the recent escalation of violence in Palestine, focused particularly on Gaza and on both sides of the Gazan border. USI condemns Israel’s disproportionate and retaliatory attacks on the people of Gaza and rejects the claims of ‘self-defence’ as justification for the collective punishment of Palestinian civilians. In line with USI policies and mandates, USI reiterates our utmost support for the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, and our strong opposition to the occupation of Palestine, which has continued to […]
[…]sure that they can access that help if they do reach out and that they’re not left struggling on the bottom of a waiting list. “But we do want to emphasis to students that even though counselling services are under-resourced and sometimes there are waiting lists, campus counselling services will set aside emergency appointments for students who are in urgent need for support. So don’t let waiting lists be a barrier to seeking help.” Supports available to students: Text Hello to 50808 – a free and anonymous text support service, available 24/7 Contact your college counselling service or Students’ Union Welfare […]
[…]at the bottom of this statement. The six areas highlighted by student representatives on the day, were: 1. Student accommodation 2. Student finances 3. Public transport 4. Postgraduate and international student supports 5. Ring-fenced mental health support funding 6. Funding for Tréimhse Foghlama sa Ghaeltacht (Gaeltacht placement for student teachers) USI Vice President for Campaigns, Zaid Al-Barghouthi said: “From reviewing the Summer Economic Statement released last week, we expect Budget 2024 to again contain a number of once-off measures for students and the third-level sector. While the asks we focused on for the Lobby Day and in our pre-Budget submission concentrate on getting the most for students from this once-off spending, we will […]
[…]innovation score has remained stagnant since 2015. The Bill should ensure the fair allocation and distribution of funding in the legislation and follow international standards of good practice that support the recruitment, training and career development of researchers. The regulatory architecture being created by the Bill lacks academic representation and puts the researcher out of formation, management and oversight of the new agency. Our experience with the funding agencies that exist has been quite poor. From sick and maternity leave to research funds, the research agencies have always closed their doors to students’ and postgraduate researchers’ concerns. There is nothing […]

[…]students in USI affiliated colleges and universities took part in the Student Walkout. Commenting on the vast numbers shown in videos and photographs across social media today, USI President, Beth O’Reilly said USI wasn’t surprised by the numbers as the union is well aware of the depth of feeling on the issue. Beth said: “The support for today’s Student Walkout is indicative of the number of students that are experiencing accommodation and financial problems across Ireland. It used to be a case that every student knew someone that was struggling, but now nearly every student is struggling themselves. Students needed to take this action today. […]
[…]students to submit a video explaining their research and why it matters. Video entries are judged on the communication of the research project, how they engage the viewer, and in the originality and creativity of their presentation. David Nolan was judged the overall winner. David’s video, ‘Sex Differences in Adaptation to Exercise,’ explains their doctoral project at the School of Health & Human Performance, Dublin City University. The video focuses on the broad area of sex-differences in adaptation to exercise, focusing on female specific considerations which we study through the lens of female rugby.

[…]of Students in Ireland. USI and Students’ Unions across Ireland have fought hard for this reduction and today’s announcement is recognition of the extremely high cost of college in Ireland. However, while the ‘once-off’ €1,000 reduction is of course welcome, students are left not knowing where they stand for the future. And the reduction comes too late for students who have already deferred their places in college this year because they could not afford the costs. USI President, Beth O’Reilly said: “Today’s Budget was a missed opportunity to permanently reduce the Student Contribution Charge and start the move towards abolishing […]

[…]of pay. “The announcement from the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science that 400 doctoral students will be recruited through a public-private partnership on a €28,000 annual stipend, without increasing the pay for the 10,000 existing postgraduate research students, would be completely inequitable and unfair. This open letter, 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 […]

[…]three regional protests are a chance for students to get out show the level of anger and frustration they are feeling. Ahead of the protests, USI will travel around the country with a Cost of College Roadshow to talk to students on the ground about the campaign and ensure their stories and views are represented in the actions.” The Main demands of the Cost of College campaign are: • Abolition of the €3,000 student contribution charge • Reform of the SUSI grant system to ensure that students are fairly assessed, and the income thresholds increased • Eradication of all financial […]
