[…]Minister Stephen Donnelly and Minister Mary Butler, We write to you on behalf of 374, 000 students on World Eating Disorder Day asking you to urgently assess the inadequate, under-resourced and underfunded eating disorder support services available in Ireland, with the intention of improving the services rapidly to meet the needs of the population.

Bodywhys, the Eating Disorders Association of Ireland, reported that there has been a significant increase in people seeking their services, particularly the online […]
[…]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 […]

[…]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 […]
[…]O’Connor, President of the Union of Students in Ireland said: “The annual survey on the cost of living for students conducted by DIT Campus Life and covered in today’s Irish Independent, confirms something which Students’ Union officers beginning their terms of office right across the country today are acutely aware of. Costs of living are increasing, student supports have reduced significantly as a result of recent grant cuts and other measures, securing part-time employment is more difficult than ever, and the wider impact of austerity and the economic downturn has taken its toll on families. This has created the perfect […]

[…]not acceptable and isn’t something USI could ignore. We’re delighted that the reaction to the article was so effective that College Times was forced to remove the article from their website. In commentary to newspapers today, Joe O’Connor, USI President, gave the following statement: “The article was crass and insensitive in the extreme and will have been read by many as misogynistic, predatory nonsense. USI wholeheartedly condemns the article and we’re delighted that so many student activists and friends put the effort in to showing this up for the dismal attempt at edginess it is. It’s unfortunate that this appears […]

[…]Union of Students in Ireland (USI) has made a submission to the Constitutional Convention on equal access to civil marriage in Ireland. The submission is a comprehensive document outlining USI’s position in favour of marriage equality in Ireland. It also contains personal testimonies from students about what it was like to ‘come out’ and why marriage equality is important to them. In her contribution to the submission, recently graduated Louise* talks about the inherent inequality that meets young people when they identify themselves as LGBT: “I truly believe that the depression, isolation and loneliness experienced by many young LGBT people […]
Young people are at the forefront of change and progression in every society. On the 23rd May 2015 Ireland had affirmed to the world what it means to be a modern republic. Since the marriage referendum in Ireland, students have become aware that they can change the world through politics by becoming actively, meaningfully and substantially involved throughout political parties and beyond. Today’s youth engagement is not indifferent to politics – it is simply different to previous generations. Today’s students don’t absorb the propaganda-influenced media. They see through the heavily-edited, scripted politicians. They reject injustice and inequality. A century […]
