[…]people who come to learn in their institution. “Again we can see firsthand the exploitative and cruel practices international and postgraduate students are on the receiving end of in Irish Higher Education. International students will be arriving back to Ireland later in the Summer and face significant barriers to accessing accommodation and affordable living with these fee increases piling on the pressure.

Many Students’ Unions across the country are running events and campaigns today to mark World Mental Health Day, and Welfare Officers in Students’ Unions are available to listen and offer peer support to any students in need of help. Following the hugely successful Mental Health Reform campaign where 21,000 people signed a petition calling on Minister Kathleen Lynch to ensure the €35m of funding committed for community mental health services is allocated and spent, USI congratulate the work carried out on this campaign and encourage the Minister to act in delivering these crucially important services.

[…]students getting part-time jobs and enough hours to support their studies, many are even struggling to obtain a PPS Number, while 67 per cent of international students say they are concerned they will not be able to pay their rent. USI President, Lorna Fitzpatrick said: “The ban on evictions was reassuring for many international students, but the concerns about being able to pay rent remain. Many international students will have expected to pick up casual work to support their studies, but that is proving challenging in the current crisis. This is especially difficult for students who have arrived more recently […]

We want student journalists to provide quality content that will engage and enthuse student readers. If students engage with Campus Times they will become more informed and more concerned with […]

We trust you as Ministers to act on this matter with the utmost sensitivity and urgency. Sincerely, Clare Austick USI Vice President for Welfare Lorna Fitzpatrick USI […]

[…]when they need extra help to look after their mental wellbeing. “We tell students not to struggle alone and to reach out for help when they need it, but we have to make 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 […]
