The overall Cost of College campaign will involve two sub-campaigns; the No Keys, No Degrees campaign which was launched in September as a result of the dire student accommodation crisis and a F*ck the Fees campaign, which aims to show the level of anger students feel towards the […]

The role of students in 1916 compared to the role of students today

[…]media was flooded with statements and photos from Ireland’s far flung youth supporting same-same marriage, and getting planes, trains and automobiles to have their vote, and their voice, heard. The power and weight of the young vote was undeniable and written into Irish history when it reformed the justice system – now, same-sex marriage is legal. We have come so far but we still have a long way to go. The role of the youth in 1916 was primarily disruption. Today, their role is still disruption but a different kind – instead of focusing on freedom of country from foreign […]

Student representatives gather in Dublin to lobby TDs ahead of Budget 2023

[…]through subsidising hidden course costs USI President, Beth O’Reilly, said: “The cost-of-living crisis is not a newly emerging issue for the students of Ireland. Between having the highest third level fees in the EU and the complete lack of affordable purpose-built student accommodation, many students are forced to choose between paying bills or putting food on the table. “Following the formation of the Department of Higher Education, many thought the problems facing third level students would, for the first time, be prioritised by Government. Unfortunately, the main issues facing most students are still largely unresolved.   “The student accommodation crisis is probably the worst it has ever been. Many students are facing a year of lengthy commutes as there are simply not […]
